General data storage/scaling pub meetup + informal RethinkDB presentation

Hello everyone and thanks for joining!

Let's meet up every now and then - for start, let's find a big enough pub where we can talk freely, share experience and concerns, discuss architecture, scaling, sharding, archiving, replicating, high availability, containers, virtualization, cloud databases &c.

I will do an informal presentation on RethinkDB, a open source, realtime, scalable document database with a query language based on functional programming. (Which we use in production.) I have experience also with Postgres / other SQL, and some bits of RabbitMQ and Redis and ElasticSearch. I want to explore ES and Kafka more for production use in the next year.

This meetup is computer-language-agnostic, with main focus on NoSQL, NewSQL and messaging, but this is definitely not an anti-SQL group. I expect meetups to be full of questions like "how would you do SQL feature X in NoSQL?". And sometimes SQL is the right answer for the right problem.

Feel free to add comments and introduce yourself, your experience and interests, suggested venues for the meetup, or time.
