The State of Open Source Databases: OpenSQL Camp Keynote Featuring Brian Aker

Posted October 16th, 2008 by sheeri

Brian Aker delivers the keynote speech at OpenSQL Camp: State of the Open Source Databases.

The presentation begins with:
"There is no way I'm going to tell you exactly where the future of databases go. We have way too many egos in the room to ever even begin a discussion..."

and ends with Aker saying,
"What the hell does that mean?"

My summary: open source databases are already ubiquitous, we need to make them better/faster/consume fewer resources.

Brian's summary: What part of my keynote surprised people? How ubiquitous bot nets are, and how they act as a big decentralized data store.
