Gluecon 2010: A Chat With Objectivity About ‘InfiniteGraph’

May 29, 2010 / / 0 Comments

InfiniteGraph-logo On the second day of the Glue conference, somehow I was Johnny-on-the-spot for breakfast, despite the activities of the night before. (No, I did not participate in the hackathon — they didn't want no stinking bloggers.)  Schmoozing over coffee and rolls around the vendor tables, I ran into my buddy Dave Fauth, who was chatting with Warren Davidson, director of biz dev at Objectivity, about their new InfiniteGraph database. The company describes it as "the distributed graph database for the cloud and beyond." I decided to pull out my handy-dandy recorder (Olympus LS-10) and do a quick interview.

So, let's say you want to build the next big social networking platform, or have a project involving scientific research, intelligence, or a personalized Internet service platform. Then, bucko, you'll want to take a look at this "distributed, scalable, enterprise-ready, high-performance graph database solution" that enables (…deep breath…) "leading-edge innovation and real-time discovery of multi-dimensional relationships and answers from vast volumes of distributed and complex data."  Seriously, this is cool stuff. The company just announced, on day one of Glue, the availability of InfiniteGraph in beta….

My Live-Blogging of CloudCamp and Glue in Denver

May 25, 2010 / / 0 Comments

GlueConf-logo This year’s Glue Conference is the second annual, and I’m glad to be back. The dates are May 26-27, and it’s at a new venue this year: the Omni Interlocken Resort in Broomfield, CO. Nice views of the mountains, and a golf course, too (like I care).  This year, the night before has a new wrinkle: we’re having a barcamp (unconference) starting at 4:00 pm today, May 25:  CloudCamp @Gluecon, also known as #cloudcampdenver.

Here’s my live-blog page, which uses a service called ScribbleLive.  I began posting to it earlier today, doing checks-ins while in route, etc, and I also have my Twitter posts appearing there — plus I had all tweets containing “gluecon” appearing there for a while, too.  GlueCon2010-Live I’ll begin posting again once CloudCamp starts up, and will continue through tomorrow and Thursday, till the Glue conference ends about 5:00 pm that day.  Comments are turned on in the ScribbleLive blog (moderated), so speak your piece if you like.

Note: This live-blog is also appearing concurrently on a new developer community site from Alcatel-Lucent, called Open API Service.  So, you can view all the action on this blog page there as well.

What the problem of “enterprise application integration” was in the late ’90s is now the cambrian explosion of web-based applications that will demand similar levels of integration. How to “glue” all of these apps, data, people, workflows, and networks together?

The Glue conference is devoted solely to this new problem-set facing architects, developers, and integrators. It is exploring the new technologies forming around web applications in a post-cloud world.

This live blog also includes my coverage of CloudCamp @Gluecon, May 25, 2010 (just prior to Glue), otherwise known as #cloudcampdenver.

My Live-Blogging of the MIMA Event Featuring Virgin America

May 19, 2010 / / 0 Comments

Here's the page where my live-blog posts appeared, in real time last evening, May 19, 2010. Porter Gale, VP of Marketing at Virgin America, gave a great talk.BuildingBrand35kft-LiveBlog-title

To do live-blogging at events, I use a great tool designed
just for this purpose called "ScribbleLive." I've done so at several events over the past year or two, such as DEMO Conferences, Blogwell/Minneapolis, MIMA Summit, and others. (And I'll be live-blogging at the Glue Conference next week in Denver.)  It lets me comment as things happen.

VirginAmerica-logo My on-site coverage of this MIMA event began soon after I arrived at the Solera restaurant and nightclub, on a gorgeous evening in downtown Minneapolis. The entire live-blog is now archived at the page link above, in chronological order.

MIMA Event 5/19/10: “Building a Brand at 35,000 Feet”

VirginAmerica-logo Below is my live-blog of this event: BUILDING A BRAND AT 35,000 FEET WITH PORTER GALE, VICE PRESIDENT OF MARKETING AT VIRGIN AMERICA.
MIMA-logo.jpgIt is now archived, which flips it into proper chronological order. Note it also contains Twitter posts I did occasionally, before and during the event, which are labeled thusly. I meant to let others’ tweet streams into the page, too — people I knew who were tweeting during the talk — but I was too busy scrambling to get set up, after being late! And there was no wi-fi — darn, and I wanted to blog from my iPad!  So I was forced to do the whole thing from my 3GS iPhone, using my ScribbleLive app.
