We cosponsored New England Database Day at MIT's Stata Center on Friday, January 30, 2009. This was a free full day conference bringing together researchers and developers from throughout New England and beyond. Details are online at
the NEDBDay09 webpage.
Hope to see you when we run this again next year.
An overview of last summer's Boston Usenix conference is online at
