We have the opportunity of having Jan Lehnardt give us a Couch DB
presentation in London next Wednesday (27/8). If anyone is interested,
please email me directly. If we can gather a crowd of 10 people, we will
go ahead with it in our offices on Brushfield Street.

Also, a reminder if you are planning to attend today's thesis
presentation on Model Based Testing in Erlang, please register. The URL is:

Abstract: "This presentation takes a look at CouchDB from 10,000 ft. We
try not to lose you in technical details and paint the big picture that
you need to understand CouchDB's strengths and weaknesses.
CouchDB is a document oriented database. It does not adhere to the
relational principles of traditional databases. You will learn what that
means for your application design.

CouchDB's replication support solves the problems of high-traffic web
sites, distributed peer-to-peer, and offline applications all at the
same time. We show you what kind of applications you are able to build
with that.

However, CouchDB is no Silver Bullet and there are plenty of cases where
it is a poor fit. You will learn to decide when it is a good fit for
your project and when you are better off with a traditional database."
