Morning, Afternoon, Evening to All, Truly great Recap for today: Funding news, new code, podcast, meetups, and more.
Enjoy, Mark Community Manager Basho Technologies wiki.basho.com twitter.com/pharkmillups ---- Riak Recap for Feb. 6 - 8 1) Basho raised $7.5M in funding! * There is a write up about it here ---> http://bit.ly/el3Fh4 * Hacker News thread here ---> http://hackerne.ws/item?id=2193562 (h/t to @bobfeldbauer for submitting the link) * On a general note, there is no way this funding would have happened without you, the Riak Community, helping us grow the product, improve the code base, and raise awareness around Riak with things like production usage, blog posts and user group/conference presentations. So, from all of us at Basho, "Thank You!" 2) Bradford Winfrey (@bradfordw) wrote a blog post called "Riak, csv and R." This one features some code that makes it easy to pump your Riak buckets into CSVs where it can then be sliced and diced with the power of R. Read and tinker here ---> http://bradfordw.posterous.com/riak-csv-and-r Thanks, Bradford! 3) The first KillDashNine Party is happening tonight in San Francisco. * Register here ---> http://killdashninesf.eventbrite.com/ * If you haven't read up on what KillDashNine is all about, start here ---> http://blog.basho.com/2011/02/07/data-durability-is-not-an-after-market-add-on;-announcing-killdashnine/ 3.1) Mårten Gustafson is holding a KillDashNine event in Stockholm tonight.
