FOSDEM is a large Free and Open Source Developers' conference. This year it was at the Université libre de Bruxelles (ULB) and was attended by about 5,000 developers. One of the tracks was NoSQL which embraces all of the Non-SQL databases that have emerged in the last couple of years. It appears to have been one of the most popular topics at the conference with standing room only for many of the presentations. Rob Tweed and I both gave talks about some of the things we've been doing with GT.M. Rob talked about M/DB and M/DB:X while I talked about the XAPI service that GT.M provides for OpenStreetMap. Judging from the questions at the end of my talk, I was impressed that at least some people in the room actually understood the most technical part of my talk. Geospatial indexing and the benefit that key compression in globals gives in this context. Slides from both talks are available here: http://www.slideshare.net/george.james/mdb-mdbx And really good quality videos with synchonized slides are available here: |

I would like to announce the release of EsiObjects V4.2.1.0. Go to http://www.esiobjects.org for information regarding EsiObjects as well as instructions on downloading. Overview EsiObjects (pronounced ‘easy objects’) is an class based object oriented system that runs on ANSI, FIPS and ISO standard MUMPS (M) systems GT.M and Cache. EsiObjects is an implementation of an object model and communications packages. The object model is implemented using M associative arrays and routines. The M language is extended to include object commands, special variables and functions. They are implemented via the EsiObjects compiler that is written in the M language. To expose database objects to the enterprise, a TCP/IP Bridge has been implemented. Various communications approaches are supported such as the Java Gateway, Java Proxies, COM Bridge and CORBA ORB. Features EsiObjects contains all the features for an Object Store.
