My proposal to present on Cassandra at OSCON this year was accepted. OSCON will be July 22 to 24 in San Jose. My talk will be on Thursday: http://en.oreilly.com/oscon2009/public/schedule/grid/2009-07-23
I covered similar material at my PyCon open space talk last week (standing room only); it went very well. There is a lot of interest in scalable systems and Cassandra is one of a very few of these that can handle structured data. This will help get Cassandra a lot more visibility as it reboots as an ASF project. (I'm also giving a talk on Friday, "What every developer should know about database scalability." I'm mostly going to focus on relational databases there but non-relational options will be mentioned, including Cassandra.) -Jonathan
