Friendly reminder that the FoundationDB community is hosting its first-ever community conference, FoundationDB Summit, on December 10, 2018 in Seattle, WA.

I encourage you to read the announcement blog post, but want to highlight the “Who should attend” section which covers some key points:

FoundationDB Summit is a technical conference that will bring together early adopters, core developers, and other community members. If you’re interested in learning more about the project, we encourage you to join us!

FoundationDB Summit is also part of the KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Community Events Day, and will be in the same Washington Convention Center as thousands of other open source engineers that week.

Register today to join the community in person!

Is there a live feed for purchase as well by chance? I won’t be able to make it this year but would love to check out the content.

Unfortunately, there won’t be a live stream, however I’ll explore whether we can record talks and publish them online afterwards.

That would be really appreciated for those who can’t attend the event.

Due to the weirdness of plane ticket fares, it is cheaper to arrive a day early to the event.

So… what are good places to visit in Seattle on a Sunday for database nerds? :slight_smile:

I’ll be arriving on Saturday for the same reason.

I’d like to second the request that the talks be recorded and videos posted online. Much as I would like to attend, I will not be able to. Recorded talks would be a fantastic learning resource, very badly needed.

Good news: we will be recording talks and publishing them after the event.

Hope the Summit went well! Really looking forward to the videos (particularly the new storage engine!)

I attended your summit and had a great time learning about fdb. I’m still trying to understand the amount of work writing these models and compatibility layers entails. I’m especially interested in learning how hard it would be to do something similar to your MondoDB compatibility layer but for CouchDB. If any of y’all are in town still tomorrow, I’d love to discuss in person at the conference hall. Thanks!

had a blast at the summit, was great to meet so many other FDB users - I am excited to participate more in the future!
