Boy am I thrilled.

OSCON, back in the old days, was the Mekka for open source developers. Glorious but out of reach and too far away. I don’t know if that image holds true still, but judging the enthusiastic reports by previous attendees, it does. And this year I will be able to attend.

I will not only be able to attend, I will even give a presentation. You can guess the topic of course and I don’t want to stretch this post into advertising CouchDB yet again. (I’ll leave that to other posts :-)

This is a heads-up for all the friends and colleagues I’ve known and worked with for quite a few years now but haven’t had a chance to meet in a while. If you are coming to OSCON, please get in touch ( …

My CouchDB presentation at Mailtrust earlier this month got recorded. The video is now online at Yahoo Video. Enjoy!

Update 29.03.2008: Here are the slides. What I said in Some Context still applies.

And while we are at it, these are the slides from my Mountain West Ruby Conference Presentation. Again, Enjoy! :)

Dear Readers,

I have a favour to ask. Please register for the first hands-on workshop about programming CouchDB.

Here is the story:

With my slight NADD infection I have, of course, set up a Google Alert on CouchDB. A few weeks ago, an alert came in that surprised me. Fortunately in a good way. The call for papers of the 2008 edition of XTech, a (duh) tech conference in Dublin, Ireland, asked specifically for CouchDB related submission.

How cool is that?

I sent in a whole bunch of proposals, just to make sure one gets through and it …

The March (pun!) continues. Bill Boebel, CTO of Mailtrust (Rackspace’s mail division), saw my previous announcement and asked me to present CouchDB as part of their Racklabs series and I happily agreed. This is a very cool opportunity to meet a bunch of very smart engineers; I am eager to go.

On Monday 17th (St. Patrick’s Day) at 6pm Eastern Time, we meet at Mailtrust’s office. See the announcement for directions and details. There will be pizza and beer afterwards. The talk is open …
