A language I have been having fun with is forth. Very fast and if you like hp rpn calculators, you will love forth.

Hi all..in the interest of bringing interest to the list (Tech at least) 
I'll propose the following topics to comment on: 

1. Puppet - "Infrastructure as Code" sometimes known as the DevOps 
movement. Not your typical Puppet tutorial: 
http://semicomplete.com/presentations/puppet-at-loggly/puppet-at-loggly.pdf.html 

2. Riak - Riak is a Dynamo-inspired database that is being used in 
production by companies like Mozilla and Comcast. Riak scales 
predictably and easily and simplifies development by giving users the 
ability to quickly prototype, test, and deploy their 
applications. http://wiki.basho.com / 
One of the unique features of Riak is the ability to write to ANY 
node in the system and have it
available (eventually) to any other node 
in the system. 

3. Erlang - A functional concurrent programming for massively scalable 
architecture. This is what Riak is written in (along with ejabberd). 
Riak also supports hot code swapping for upgrades so that the service 
never goes down! 

4. Distributed File Systems like Tahoe-LAFS how could you use this to 
backup your data to your friend's house while allowing you to share some 
files and keep others encrypted? 

5. Dream Plug (and plug devices in general) What can you do with 'em? 
What HAVE you done with 'em? 


I'm just trying to drum up some tech on the mailing list so we can get 
some interest again...Hopefully one of these topics interests somebody!!!
