Cassandra will be represented by Avinash Lakshman on a free full day meetup covering "open source, distributed, non relational databases" on June 11th in San Francisco.
The idea is that the event will give people interested in this area a great introduction and an easy way to compare the different projects out there as well as the opportunity to discuss them with the developers.
