Brief notes from OSCON 2010, Portland, OR, July 18-23, 2010.

Infobright and Jaspersoft partnered for this event and exhibited in two side-by-side booths in the Exhibit Hall on Wednesday and Thursday.  The crowd was great, with lots of enthusiasm and open minds (pun intended).

Here are some brief stats from our experience there.  We had:

• 429 unique visitors volunteer their contact details (scans)
• from 6 continental areas - North and South America, Europe, Africa, Asia and Australia
• representing 22 different countries
• of which there were 29 US states and 5 Canadian providences.

Truly a worldwide event!  We were happy to meet you all.  Thanks for stopping by.

I will be manning the Infobright booth at OSCON in Portland, OR, along with my colleague Bob Newell on Wednesday and Thursday, July 21 and 22, 2010.  Please stop by to say hello!

Bob will also be presenting an overview (or two?) of Infobright during one of the scheduled sessions.

I've really been cranking up my participation in this discussion group on LinkedIn - Columnar Databases, hosted by Marco Ribeiro of Khydra.

If you are a member of LinkedIn, I suggest you consider joining this group, take a look at what users, consultants and vendors are saying about column-oriented databases, and share your experience and insight.

Much of what I might have posted here can be found over there.
