Just a quick post here to let you know that the call for speakers for MarkLogic World 2012 is open! The conference is in the D.C. area this year, May 1-3. If you're thinking of submitting a talk, suggested topics include:

• Creative applications of MarkLogic features
• Stories of performance and scale
• Using MarkLogic with other Big Data technologies
• Building mobile apps
• Programming language tricks and techniques
• Analytics and search working together
• Managing semantics at scale

We're also still working out details on lightning talks and the developer-focused parts of the program this year. If you're planning on attending, note that the Early Bird rate (which saves you $300) is still available thru December 31st, 2011. Hope to see you there!
