Wednesday’s meeting of the Boston Scalability User Group was a big hit! I’d like to thank everyone in attendance for coming to talk about computers while the weather outside was beautiful. We had a great turnout and I noticed a lot of people where talking for quite a while after the meeting, too. Keep it up, everyone! I like to see people sharing their stories and experience.
Of course we have to thank our special guest speaker for the evening, Orion Letizi from Terracotta! Orion flew all the way from San Fransisco to Boston to give a great presentation. Orion covered a lot of ground in just over two hours he was at the podium. We got to explore using Terracotta for configuration management, synchronizing actions across JVMs, using distributed shared objects in their locality of reference and much more. Orion also showed us several demos, including a cool shared editor. Thanks again for coming such a long way to speak! And a big thanks to Terracotta for sponsoring the pizza!
Check back soon for the June 18 meeting announcement (this is the 3rd Wednesday not the 4th as we usually do).
