Nicholas Gunder
Nicholas Gunder is a Software Engineering Manager at Motorola Denmark.
He is originally from the USA, but was transferred from Chicago to
Copenhagen in the fall of 2002. He has been working on Motorola’s
telecom infrastructure development since 2001.
Nicholas was introduced to Erlang for the first time in 2003 through a prototype project sponsored by Motorola Labs. After being impressed by the prototype, he was able to secure project funding, and push Erlang to be used outside of Motorola labs. He is currently working on his third, and by far largest, technology project using Erlang/OTP.
Nicholas's talk at Erlang eXchange will focus on Erlang at Motorola Denmark.

Introducing Erlang to Motorola: The Journey to Success
Nicholas will explain how two engineers in Motorola were able to
persuade top management to move Erlang out of the labs and into real
telecommunications projects. First looking at the initial ideas and
reasoning for using Erlang inside of Motorola, this presentation will
then dive deaper into some of the organisational and technological
issues associated with deploying a new development language in a large
company. Two projects will be highlighted, each were used as powerful
case studies to convince people to see Erlang as an enabler to higher
productivity and better quality. The nature of our systems as
concurrent, real time and distributed beasts will also be covered and
how this matches up with the strengths of Erlang/OTP.

CouchDB from 10,000 ft - an introduction to CouchDB
This presentation takes a look at CouchDB from 10,000 ft. We try
not to lose you in technical details and paint the big picture that you
need to understand CouchDB’s strengths and weaknesses.
CouchDB
is a document oriented database. It does not adhere to the relational
principles of traditional databases. You will learn what that means for
your application design.
CouchDB’s replication
support solves the problems of high-traffic web sites, distributed
peer-to-peer, and offline applications all at the same time. We show
you what kind of applications you are able to build with that.
However,
CouchDB is no Silver Bullet and there are cases where it is a poor fit.
You will learn to decide when to use it for your project and when you
are better off with a different solution.
