Hullo all,<br><br>Just following up on what Seumas wrote - Ferruccio had also mentioned graph databases and pointed us toward db4o <a href="http://www.db4o.com/about/productinformation/db4o/">http://www.db4o.com/about/productinformation/db4o/</a> and neo4j (<a href="http://neo4j.org/">http://neo4j.org/</a>). Should make interesting reading for the developers among us.<br>

The second Derry LUG meet of the new season...<br>
<br>
In attendance were myself, Dennis, Nils and Ferruccio...<br>
<br>
Ferruccio regaled us with tales of programming past and present, from<br>
punchcards to NoSQL. Quick mention of Dart (Google's language) and<br>
probably other stuff I've forgotten. Dennis?<br>

There's a new Skype for Linux. Version 4.0 and no longer tagged as<br>
beta. I do have it installed, but not noticed anything majorly<br>
different yet...<br>

Linus FU to nVidia. What more needs to be said. Spot on! (Skip to<br>
around 49 mins if you can't be bothered watching the whole thing)<br>

Closed source stuff on Linux gets a mention...Unity 4 brings Linux<br>
support and Steam is going Linux too...what's up with that? Linux<br>
gaming becoming big enough to profit from?...<br>

<br>
...and there's the HumbleBundle. Games for Linux, Windows and Mac, DRM<br>
free, pay what you want. Latest one was HumbleBundle V which sold<br>
nearly 600,000 units and made over $5,000,000<br>

So, next fortnight we hope to have another tablet to look at (courtesy<br>
of Ferruccio), will talk about Android upgrades, and whatever else we<br>
can think of. Hope to see you!<br>
<br>
Next meet is at Tinney's (opposite the Omniplex/Tescos on Patrick<br>
Street) on July 4th from 6pm onwards...hope to see you there!<br>
<br>
Cheers, Seumas<br>
