Hello Community, At MarkLogic, we just had our annual Tech Summit, a gathering of all the technical employees in the company. It was a great event with useful insights from Engineering, Product Management, and our Field team!
By the way, if you've ever wondered what I look like, here I am<https://www.flickr.com/photos/marklogicuc/21853122832/in/photostream/>, fully in the spirit of the Oktoberfest-themed event Tuesday night. Demo Jam! Some of you have had the opportunity to participate in a Demo Jam. For those who haven't, participants get five minutes to present their demo. The winner is the whoever who gets the crowd to yell the loudest for them (don't go if you have a headache). Some of the entries have already been posted to GitHub: * MLREPL<https://github.com/lonhutt/mlrepl> -- Lon Hutt's a read/evaluate/print loop that runs MarkLogic Server-side JavaScript * MarkBots<https://github.com/wooldridge/markbots> -- Mike Wooldridge's Internet-of-Things inspired demo, with Raspberry Pi picturing-taking robots sending data to MarkLogic * Mike's previous Demo Jam entry, Snippet Hunt<https://github.com/wooldridge/snippet-hunt>, is on GitHub too. He's promised me a blog post on this one of these days…. * Changing the Game<https://github.com/christyharagan/ml-demojam-gamelogic> -- Deepti Naidu and Christy Haragan entertained us with their GameLogic demo Hands-on Sessions We also ran hands-on sessions that were originally written for MarkLogic World.
