They'll be demonstrating and answering questions about their commercial relational database - XDB - which they plan to open source sometime this year. I'll have books and a spiffy O'Reilly t-shirt to handout, and as always our gracious host (Community of Science) will provide cans of soda! Look forward to seeing you there...
