Summer Recess: See you in September!
The whole group is taking a recess. That doesn’t mean we won’t see each other informally over the summer. Just be sure to follow @montrealrb to know about gatherings.
Our next formal event will be on September 21st. Details will be coming around late August. Be sure to check back then.
Until then, have a great summer!

Next Montreal.rb: June 15th
Morgan Tocker prepared a talk on “How NoSQL is different from MySQL (InnoDB)”:
It’s good to understand some of the basic internals to how InnoDB
works, what goals it has, and what trade-offs you may be making when
you switch to a NoSQL database.
Paul Mylchreest has a gem he kept under the radar: hansel. Hansel is a gem to drive httperf.
As usual, we’ll be at 481 Viger W., at 6:30 PM on June 15th, 2010. Free admission for all. Thanks to Bloom Digital Platforms for the venue.
