Steven Noels: Learning lessons - building a CMS on top of NoSQL technologies

Steven Noels is co-founder of Outerthought, a geek-technical content application vendor specializing in large-scale content management and publishing solutions. Outerthought is the creator of the successful open source CMS Daisy, and is currently building a next-generation successor for it, called Lily. Lily is based on Apache HBase and SOLR and builds further
upon our many years of experience with content management applications. Steven is an Apache Software Foundation member and a speaker on subjects of open source, content management and NOSQL both locally (Belgium) and abroad.

In his talk, Steven will present on "Learning lessons: building a CMS on top of NOSQL
technologies" Many NOSQL projects are currently focusing on online services, batch processing and/or running analytics of massive data quantities. Since September of 2009, we have been accumulating quite some hands-on experience of using NOSQL technology as a technology basis for a content management system. We've encountered some benefits, some pitfalls, some good and some bad, which we want to share with you during this talk.
