My upcoming JavaCro 2014 talk: Log as basis for distributed systems

After last year talking about Neo4j and graph databases, this year at JavaCro 2014, I will be having a talk about log-based distributed systems, with quick overview of few of such systems and architectures - Kafka, Datomic, CQRS/event-sourcing....

The talk will be held on May 13th, 2014. So if you're nearby, and would like to use this opportunity to see the talk or chat about whatever IT-related, I would be glad to do so.
