Meet together and talk about Cassandra

I'm glad to announce our first Cassandra Moscow meetup sponsored by DataStax!

For the first time, we will meet together and exchange our Cassandra experience, ask questions to each other and have some fun. It will be a set of short (30-45 min) presentations followed by QA sessions.

This time we don't have guests from DataStax, so primary event language is Russian.

Speakers:

Max Alexejev, Talkbits. I will speak about Cassandra usage at Talkbits, C* consistency modes and operational stuff our company recently learned: deployment best-practices for Amazon EC2 and approaches for C* backups. Dmitri Babaev. Will speak about core architectural approaches taken in Cassandra and compare them to ones in HBase. Vlad Vlaskin, AdMoment. Vlad will talk about Cassandra integration with Map-Reduce (CDH4) and his production experience using Cassandra as data storage for real-time-bidding.

We are actively searching for more speakers! Both for this first event on April 25 and following event in summer. If you have something to say about your real-life Cassandra experience - feel free to email me at malexejev@gmail.com and send your Topic and short agenda (Russian or English). Alternatively, you can just put your proposal here in the event comments.

If you just want to know more about Cassandra or have any specific issues you want to be resolved, - you are even more encouraged to come and ask your questions.
