• London Erlang Meeting – “How do you test large systems written in Erlang?” on Monday (I presume) Jan 21.
• Map Reduce a major step back. Michael Stonebraker and David J. DeWitt let forth on why they dislike Google’s MapReduce infrastructure and how it is poor relation to standard relational database technology.
