Reading Club on distributed graph db returns with a new Format on April 4th 2012

The reading club was quite inactive due to traveling and also a not optimal process for the choice of literature. That is why a new format for the reading club has been discussed and agreed upon. 
The new Format means that we have 4 new rules

  1. we will only discuss up to 3 papers in 90 minutes of time. So rough speaking we have 30 minutes per paper but this does not have to be strict.
  2. The decided papers should be read by everyone before the reading club takes place.
  3. For every paper there is one responsible person (moderator) who did read the entire paper before he suggested it as a common reading.
  4. Open questions to the (potential) reading assignments and ideas for reading can and should be discussed on http://related-work.rene-pickhardt.de/ (use the same template as I used for the reading assignments in this blogpost) eg:

Moderator:
Paper download:
Why to read it
topics to discuss / open questions:

For next meeting on April 4th 2 pm CET (in two days) the literature will be:

While preparing these papers we might come across some other interesting literature.
If you want to suggest some of the literature you should also read that piece of work until the reading club meeting takes place and know why you want everybody to prepare the same paper and discuss it (rule 3). Additionally you should open a topic on the paper on http://related-work.rene-pickhardt.de/ using the above template before the reading club takes place (rule 4)
I hope this is of help for the entire project and I am looking forward to the next meeting!

  3. I was wondering if you reading club was virtual and if so, if you were open to new members joining? I am very interested in what you guys are investigating and would love to get involved. I am building a large scale analytics engine based up Neo4j.

    1. Hey Todd, thanks for your interest.
      If you send me a short mail I can include you to our informal mailinglist. But I have to say that the club did not pursue its work anymore for almost one year now and I have the feeling it will not be reactivated.
