NoSQL Asia Manifesto - Observations of a Brit in Asia who fell in love with a DB

My name's Mark Smalley and I want to help organize a NoSQL conference in South East Asia. I've been living in and around Malaysia for the past 15 years and believe that Kuala Lumpur would be an ideal location to host such an event. At the very least, I would like and plan to transform NoSQLasia.org into a place to help consolidate and organize the flow of information, cross-promotion and marketing of the events and communities that are promoting NoSQL throughout South East Asia.<p>With recent reports suggesting that the NoSQL Market will be a US$14 Billion business in 2013 - 2018 and with almost US$100 Million in recent funding to just 10gen and Neo Technologies alone, it is quite clear that the NoSQL mindset is not just a temporary fad. This is why I also believe that now would be the perfect timing for such an event, so propose that this conference takes place in September 2013<p>The story that proceeds this introduction merely helps to explain why...<p>http://nosqlasia.org/blog/nosql-asia-manifesto
