We have a CPLUG meeting tonight (4/13/2010) at ITT…
Vik will be talking about Apache CouchDB. CouchDB is a free and open source document-oriented database written in the Erlang programming language. It is a NoSQL solution designed for local replication and to scale vertically along a wide range of devices. The documents in a collection need not share a schema, but retain query abilities via views. Views are defined with aggregate functions and filters are computed in parallel, much like MapReduce.
After that, Nathan will be doing a lightning talk about OpenDS. OpenDS Software is a free, open source directory service, written in Java, and developed as part of the OpenDS project. OpenDS Software implements a wide range of Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) and related standards, including full compliance with LDAPv3 but also support for Directory Service Markup Language (DSMLv2).
Feel free to RSVP on the Central PA Linux Meetup page.
See you tonight!
