I mentioned in a previous post UK IUA 2010 that Ingres announced the release of Ingres VectorWise. During the announcement was a live demonstration using the Ingres Database Workbench; recorded for posterity.
This year’s IUA conference; a crammed packed one day event with 5 streams of sessions with keynotes from Ingres‘ CEO Roger Burkhardt, Novell‘s Director of Product Management Dr. Gerald Pfeifer and Talend‘s François Mero.

Another session packed day kicked off by a rousing keynote from Robert C. Martin of Object Mentor Inc. entitled “Software Professionalism and the Art of Saying “No”.
