Lightning in June?!

After a great relaunch at the May meetup, the interest in "other databases" was quite obvious. While I touched on a few, it was more just classifying them. For this month, the plan is to give some high level lightning talks on a few of the different types.

Topics that I have tentatively confirmed (check back as we get closer) for some 5-7 minute talks include:

• MySQL (relational)

• MongoDB (document store / NoSQL)

• Neo4j (graph database / NoSQL)

• Cassandra (columnar store / NoSQL)

The focus will be on:

• What is it?

• What is it good at?

• What isn't it good at?

• What are some use cases where it fits?

I'll bring food (and please let me know if you are tired of Joey's pizza!) so please RSVP so I can get a good idea of how much to bring :)

Hope to see you there and feel free to comment on other technologies you'd like to see discussed. We may have "Lightning in July" too if we get enough topics!
