A NoSQL Summer

Kudos to Tim Anglade for putting together what looks like both an ambitious and exciting summer event. A NoSQL summer is an opportunity to get together with your fellow NoSQL enthusiasts and dicuss some of the more relevant papers and presentations about NoSQL and general theory that led us to this point.

A NOSQL Summer is a network of local reading groups, that will decipher & discuss NOSQL-related articles, from late June to early September 2010. Each group sets its own meeting pace (usually once a week or once every two weeks) and select which papers are up for discussion.

At every cycle, members read the selected paper at home and then meet up for an hour or so to discuss, debate and answer their own questions.

We then encourage you to produce an annotated version of the paper, or short summary that we can then publish here for the rest of world to peruse.

Please note that, in most cities, you do not need to sign up to attend NOSQL Summer meetings. You just need to have read the paper planned for the week by your local chapter and show up at the designated meeting place!

Feel free to skip a meeting or jump in at any time. We’re trying to make this low-maintenance and flexible, for everybody to get a chance to learn more about a fuzzy concept that’s here to stay.

They are planning these events all over the world including:

• Berlin
• Boston
• Bucharest
• Budapest
• Chicago
• Denver
• Ghent
• London
• Los Angeles
• Malmo
• New York
• Paris
• Rome
• Saint Louis
• San Francisco
• Sao Paulo
• Seattle
• Toronto
• Stuttgart
• Vancouver
• Wellington
