Hello All,
Just in time for the weekend we bring you a rundown of announcements, jobs,
some code and, of course, the mailing list review.
As always, we want to hear from you. If you’re working on or speaking about
something Riak related and would like to be highlighted - send me a note!
Let me know what you’re up to and I’ll get your talk or blog post in the
