Monthly discussion group on MySQL, and open source projects in general.
This month, we'll have InfoBright talking to us about their product as well.
Infobright Community Edition (ICE) is a new Open Source analytical data warehousing platform, which was released in September 2008. ICE is easy to use, and very simple to manage. It is a column-oriented database with a unique architecture called the Knowledge Grid that eliminates the complexities of indexing or developing complex data partitioning schemes. This presentation will discuss ICE, and how it utilizes the Knowledge Grid to process analytical queries so quickly. ICE is the only platform that allows MySQL to scale from extremely small datasets to 30+TB databases without requiring any changes to the underlying architecture of the system.
A member of the Infobright Community, Kevin Galligan, will also present how he has utilized ICE to analyze complex data sets involving extremely wide tables (over 500 columns). Since finishing his initial project with ICE, Kevin has further used ICE to create a startup company to help small businesses find the most cost-effictive and easiest way to send direct mail advertisements to a very precise selection of potential clients.

A Silverlight Introduction to newbies/designers + Developer Talk TBA
121km away in Vancouver
Okay this is a combined talk for designers/developers depending on the ratio that RSVP's. The designer talk will be aimed at newcomers / existing Flash users and the developer talk I've still yet to determine depending on time. However based on RSVP's I can easily change this to a full developer focus if we end up getting the same faces again :) Please RSVP if you can make the date and a time. There is still the possibility of getting a Microsoft speaker.
