A summer’s rainy morning in Malmö. I’ve just hopped off the morning train from Copenhagen, clutching a crumpled paper that I just finished. I got wind of it through the NoSQL Summer reading club’s Malmö instance. On the way into the office, I saw my FOSS friend T, waiting for a car. Handing him the …

Upcoming meetup poster: active redesigning and customizing
