Monday, I have a small intro presentation on NoSQL and HBase during Devoxx, it was a very late afternoon 30' session and there were about 300 people in the room. I did a show of hands and almost all had heard about NoSQL stores, while almost none had started doing actual work with them. So there's a lot of interest, but people are still evaluating - and they have more choice than every NoSQL project perhaps would like them to have. ;) During the subsequent BOF session later in the evening, there were 50+ people, and the same situation: lots of (genuine!) interest, just a few early adopters. But we actually had to force people out of the room (as another BOF session was planned) - or else we would have sit there for a nice couple of hours. The questionnaire still stands IMO: some good questions, and hopefully some new responses in a couple of months. I know we are trying, at the very least.
