[Derry] DLUG meet on June 19th

[Dennis Heaney]

Hullo all,

Just following up on what Seumas wrote - Ferruccio had also mentioned graph
databases and pointed us toward db4o
http://www.db4o.com/about/productinformation/db4o/ and neo4j (
http://neo4j.org/). Should make interesting reading for the developers
among us.
