Meetup for Portland folks to get a chance to discuss 0mq with one of its lead developers, Pieter Hintjens.

"ØMQ is The Intelligent Transport Layer:  Ø  The socket library that acts as a concurrency framework.  Ø  Faster than TCP, for clustered products and supercomputing.  Ø  Carries messages across inproc, IPC, TCP, and multicast.  Ø  Connect N-to-N via fanout, pubsub, pipeline, request-reply.  Ø  Asynch I/O for scalable multicore message-passing apps.  Ø  Large and active open source community.  Ø  20+ languages including C, C++, Java, .NET, Python.  Ø  Most OSes including Linux, Windows, OS X.  Ø  LGPL free software with full commercial support from iMatix."

             Intro to Salt / Salt Stack (saltstack.org)
                          by Daniel Hedlund 

Salt is a distributed configuration management and remote execution platform built on top of ZeroMQ and Python. Simple, fast, powerful and extensible.

Daniel will give a presentation on the architecture of Salt and how it leverages ZeroMQ to provide a simple but highly scalable and parallel method of software deployment.

"Salt is a distributed remote execution system used to execute commands and query data. It was developed in order to bring the best solutions found in the world of remote execution together and make them better, faster and more malleable. Salt accomplishes this via its ability to handle larger loads of information, and not just dozens, but hundreds or even thousands of individual servers, handle them quickly and through a simple and manageable interface."

A conference for anything and everything ØMQ!
