It was really great to be able to share some experiences with folks like you and to be able to participate on a panel with the likes of Paul and Nat. memcached is the open source cacheing system we referred to the most: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memcached Another persistent cache we have started using at Technorati recently is memcachedb, http://memcachedb.org/, which is a memcached protocol compliant persistent store that uses BDB as a backend. This has the benefit of being able to copy, backup, replicate, or restart your cache without having to warm it up. memcached is great for volatile data, but if you want to keep things persistent, we've found memcachedb provides a great alternative.

There are lots of things to be improved (like the Skype calls) but the gist of it is simply great: the opportunity of sharing knowledge and learning directly from the experts.
