- A lecture on solved scalability issues on a web service dealing with huge data sets (Animo).
- A lecture on unsolved scalability issues when you suddenly need to add DNA data to existing data bases (CBS-KNAW). Your input is desired!
- Short presentations and a discussion about experience with modern ‘e-mail replacements’ like Slack.com.
