Hi All,

Last month we accidentally collided with NoSQL Summer
(http://nosqlsummer.org/city/philadelphia).  It turns out many Philly
Lambda members really enjoyed having to attending both meetings on the
same night.  Since this month's meeting is on Postgres I thought it
would be appropriate to combine both groups so people don't have to
migrate.  It would be another "uber geek" night.  The room will be
available at 6:00pm at Comcast (45th floor of the Comcast Center at
17th & JFK downtown.), and the meeting will start at 6:15pm.  At 7:30
we will switch to NoSQL Summer.

Here's the meeting title and description:

On Scaling and Postgres at MyYearbook by Michael Glaesemann

With the surge of interest in non-relational data storage, it's useful
to take a step back to look at how relational database systems can
back high traffic social network sites. MyYearbook, a social network
in the top-25 US sites in terms of pageviews, uses Postgres as its
primary persistant datastore. How do they do it? Why use a technology
as unhip as Postgres? Here's your chance to find out!

As usual, please RSVP below so I can pass it on to the organizers of NoSQL.

Big thanks to our speaker Michael Glaesemann and also Michael
Bevilacqua-Linn and Jonathan Moore for making this joint meeting
possible.

Thanks,

Aaron
