Speaker

Ever since Mnesia entered the scene in 1995, Erlang has been a language for the most discriminating database hackers. With CouchDB, Scalaris and Riak, Erlang is now on the forefront of the NoSQL wave - the biggest revolution in the database world since E.F. Codd invented the Relational Model.

As Erlang's popularity grows, it keeps breaking into new niches and companies not previously associated with the language. In this track we get to listen to the experiences of users better known for their association with other technologies rather than Erlang.

Goodbye Stockholm, Hello Berlin and Tel Aviv

The 19th Erlang User Conference just concluded, and we are uploading slides and videos as fast as we can. Most slides are already up, and we hope to have all videos on the website during the next two weeks. A video of the first keynote is already live, take a look. If you want to get a feel of the atmosphere at EUC, you can also find a photo album here.

If you didn't get a chance to come to EUC or you did and now you want more Erlang in your life, fear not! The Erlang Factories Lite will be back in October. By popular demand we're coming to Berlin on the 16th of October. Steve Vinoski already confirmed he will be one of our speakers, so hurry up and submit your talk.  

The first Erlang Factory in Israel will take place at the Google Campus in Tel Aviv on 23 October. Talks will be delivered both in English and in Hebrew. Talk submission is now open here.
