I’ve never been to an OUCE, or Southampton, and I’m really looking forward to it. Since you get to Southampton via London (from here), and since I haven’t been back there in more than a year, I arranged to have a day or two there, and scored an opportunity to talk to the Cassandra London Meetup on Monday. https://blog.deadcafe.org/posts/2013/04/19/cassandra_summit_2013/ Fri, 19 Apr 2013 10:47:15 +0000 https://blog.deadcafe.org/posts/2013/04/19/cassandra_summit_2013/ Datastax’s yearly Cassandra Summit has grown into a two day event this year, June 11-12 in San Francisco. If you are a user of Cassandra (or are considering it), then you probably want to attend this conference (use code SFSummit25 for 25% off). I’ll be there to present on virtual nodes; Find me if you want to chat about databases, network management, beer, or the Can’t Hug Every Cat phenomenon. https://blog.deadcafe.org/posts/2013/04/17/berlin_buzzwords_2013/ Wed, 17 Apr 2013 12:45:20 +0000 https://blog.deadcafe.org/posts/2013/04/17/berlin_buzzwords_2013/ I’m fortunate enough to be speaking at Berlin Buzzwords again this year. As usual, chats over beer or currywurst (or both) are always welcome. Hope to see you there! https://blog.deadcafe.org/posts/2012/04/24/berlin_buzzwords_2012/ Tue, 24 Apr 2012 11:02:02 +0000 https://blog.deadcafe.org/posts/2012/04/24/berlin_buzzwords_2012/ I’ll be at Berlin Buzzwords again this year, this time talking about Acunu Castle and Cassandra. Buzzwords is definitely one of my favorite conferences; I’m really looking forward to it. As usual, if you think we’ll cross paths and want to meet for beer, coffee, or currywurst, let me know! https://blog.deadcafe.org/posts/2011/05/08/berlin_buzzwords/ Sun, 08 May 2011 17:36:30 +0000 https://blog.deadcafe.org/posts/2011/05/08/berlin_buzzwords/ I’ll be presenting at Berlin Buzzwords again this year, this time on CQL. This is shaping up to be another great conference (schedule here) so I’m really looking forward to it. This year, the organizers are arranging for a number of hackathons and workshops to precede and follow the main conference. One of those will be a Cassandra event hosted by Acunu and Datastax (date to be announced). If you’re in the Berlin area (or can be), and are interested in search, data analysis and NoSQL (and especially if you’re interested in Cassandra), I’d recommend you plan to attend. https://blog.deadcafe.org/posts/2010/05/21/berlin_buzzwords/ Fri, 21 May 2010 10:28:59 +0000 https://blog.deadcafe.org/posts/2010/05/21/berlin_buzzwords/ I’ll be attending Berlin Buzzwords on the 7th and 8th of next month, and presenting on Cassandra. This is shaping up to be a great conference (schedule here), and I’m really looking forward to it. I’ve also managed to work in a couple of days after the conference to poke around Berlin, (this will be my first time in Germany). If you’re in the area and want to meet up for beers and/or keysignings, or if you have suggestions for sights to see, drop me a line. https://blog.deadcafe.org/posts/2010/04/09/upcoming_travel/ Fri, 09 Apr 2010 11:09:01 +0000 https://blog.deadcafe.org/posts/2010/04/09/upcoming_travel/ April is shaping up to be a busy month; I have several trips lined up. Texas Linux Fest on Saturday April 10th (tomorrow!) in Austin. POSSCON on April 15 and 16 in Columbia South Carolina. The Cassandra Hackathon at Digg HQ in San Francisco. I’ll be giving talks on Cassandra at Texas Linux Fest and POSSCON, and I’ve organized a Debian booth for Texas Linux Fest (a first for me). https://blog.deadcafe.org/posts/2010/03/28/haters_gonna_hate/ Sun, 28 Mar 2010 14:52:48 +0000 https://blog.deadcafe.org/posts/2010/03/28/haters_gonna_hate/ If you’ve been around for more than a few years, you’ve probably bore witness to how susceptible the tech industry is to hype. Some new-shiny comes along, people lose their minds, and seemingly overnight The Next Big Thing has spread like wildfire. Like it or not you find yourself bombarded by blog posts, tweets, articles, and water cooler chat from wild-eyed co-workers. Clearly, Ted Dziuba knows what I’m talking about. https://blog.deadcafe.org/posts/2010/02/16/fosdem_2010_and_the_nosql_devroom/ Tue, 16 Feb 2010 21:05:15 +0000 https://blog.deadcafe.org/posts/2010/02/16/fosdem_2010_and_the_nosql_devroom/ As I mentioned earlier, I was fortunate enough to be able to attend FOSDEM this year. The sheer scale of FOSDEM is amazing, with literally thousands of people in attendance, dozens of projects represented, and hundreds(?) of talks. It’s doubly impressive when you consider that it is entirely volunteer driven and 100% sponsored (it’s no cost to attend). The NoSQL track organized by Steven Noels on Sunday turned out quite well too I thought, and it seemed to generate a lot of interest (the room was continually filled to capacity and the doors barred). https://blog.deadcafe.org/posts/2010/01/22/going_to_fosdem/ Fri, 22 Jan 2010 13:06:50 +0000 https://blog.deadcafe.org/posts/2010/01/22/going_to_fosdem/ Due to a scheduling conflict, Jonathan won’t able to present on Cassandra in the NoSQL devroom at this years FOSDEM, so I’ll be going in his stead. I’ve always wanted to go to a FOSDEM, and getting to see Brussels will be a real treat as well. I can’t wait! NP: Black & White, In Flames https://blog.deadcafe.org/posts/2009/10/30/nosql_whats_in_a_name/ Fri, 30 Oct 2009 14:19:37 +0000 https://blog.deadcafe.org/posts/2009/10/30/nosql_whats_in_a_name/ Depending on the circles you travel in, you might be aware of the whole NoSQL “movement”. If not, I’m not going try and explain it at this time (explaining it is sort of the problem), but you can get the general idea from wikipedia. I’ve spent the last couple of days at nosqleast and one of the hot topics here is the name “nosql”. Understandably, there are a lot of people who worry that the name is Bad, that it sends an inappropriate or inaccurate message. https://blog.deadcafe.org/posts/2009/10/26/upcoming_travel/ Mon, 26 Oct 2009 11:33:33 +0000 https://blog.deadcafe.org/posts/2009/10/26/upcoming_travel/ I have several trips lined up for the next few weeks: NoSQL East from the 28th to the 30th in Atlanta ApacheCon US 2009 from November 2-6 in Oakland OpenSQL Camp 2009 in Portland, November 14-15 There is also a NoSQL meetup on November 2 as a part of ApacheCon; I’ve offered to present on Cassandra there. I’m also thinking of giving a session at BarcampApache, and I’m scheduled to sit on a “SQL vs. https://blog.deadcafe.org/posts/2009/08/11/git_repo_for_cassandra_packaging/ Tue, 11 Aug 2009 17:22:00 +0000 https://blog.deadcafe.org/posts/2009/08/11/git_repo_for_cassandra_packaging/ I put the repository for my Cassandra package up on Github. The repo browser can be found here, and the wiki has a brief writeup of the build process for those unfamiliar with git-buildpackage. Patches welcome! NP: Take It Out On Me, Bullet For My Valentine https://blog.deadcafe.org/posts/2009/07/28/cassandra_030_for_debian/ Tue, 28 Jul 2009 13:14:05 +0000 https://blog.deadcafe.org/posts/2009/07/28/cassandra_030_for_debian/ As announced here, I put a Debian package together for Cassandra 0.3.0. I don’t have any (immediate )plans to upload a Cassandra package to the Debian archive, (this package isn’t even policy compliant), so consider this unofficial and report any packaging bugs directly to me. Enjoy. https://blog.deadcafe.org/posts/2009/07/20/cassandra_030/ Mon, 20 Jul 2009 15:46:49 +0000 https://blog.deadcafe.org/posts/2009/07/20/cassandra_030/ The Apache Cassandra team has managed the release of 0.3.0, its very first. It took a lot longer than I had hoped to get a release in the can, (almost a month from the approval of the last release candidate). Part of this was a lack of familiarity with ASF’s processes, but part of it was poor or incomplete documentation, or lack of consensus about what is required. In the end, it boiled down to a combination of carefully studying what other poddlings had done, and a few iterations of trial-and-error. https://blog.deadcafe.org/posts/2009/05/12/nosql_2009/ Tue, 12 May 2009 15:01:58 +0000 https://blog.deadcafe.org/posts/2009/05/12/nosql_2009/ Johan Oskarsson has organized a meetup for folks interested in distributed structured data storage and is calling it NOSQL. The event, being held June 11th in San Fransisco, will have subject matter experts presenting on Hypertable, HBase, Voldemort, Dynomite, and Cassandra. There were 100 slots available slots to attend and they all went in a matter of hours, so if this is the first you’ve heard of it, it’s probably too late.
