Next Meeting April 10th

Posted by Gregg Pollack Fri, 04 Apr 2008 02:37:00 GMT

Our next meeting is Thursday, April 10 – 7 PM at Devry room #121, and sponsored by Veredus. We’ll have some delicious Panda Express for dinner.

First up, Thomas Meeks will be giving an overview of Starling. Starling is a light-weight persistent queue server that speaks the MemCache protocol. It was built to drive Twitter’s backend, and is in production across Twitter’s cluster.

Then Mike Blake will be giving a talk on Natural Language Modeling, creating software from written and verbal requirements. He’ll be talking about getting user participation in the Object modeling proccess, and how object modeling relates to the ruby language. You may have seen him do this talk at BarCamp, but this time it’ll be a little more Ruby centric.
