Chapter Meetups
C-Store: A Column-Oriented DBMS
Our next paper is "C-Store: A Column-Oriented DBMS" by Stonebraker et al.
Continuing further with our theme of data, we'll be discussing the paper that introduced columnar data stores.
As usual, we'll be meeting at the [PDX Code Guild](https://pdxcodeguild.com/), and then afterwards we'll pick a place to get a bite and a drink together.

Delta Lake: High-Performance ACID Storage in Cloud Object Stores
Our next paper is "Delta Lake: High-Performance ACID Table Storage over Cloud Object Stores" by Armbrust et al.
Continuing with our theme of data, we'll be discussing modern techniques to build high-performance yet still ACID-compliant table stores on top of non-ACID-compliant key-value cloud systems like AWS S3.
As usual, we'll be meeting at the [PDX Code Guild](https://pdxcodeguild.com/).
Anupam Upadhyay will be leading the discussion, thanks Anupam!
…Making Programs Forget
Our next paper is "Making Programs Forget: Enforcing Lifetime for Sensitive Data" by Kannan, Altekar, Maniatis, and Chun.
This should make a nice contrast to our last paper which was about how to preserve the changes made by a group of distributed editors. Modern software needs to both remember and forget!
As before we'll be meeting at the PDX Code Guild.
…A Conflict-Free Replicated JSON Datatype
For the first meeting of the reactivated chapter of Papers We Love: PDX we are going to discuss "A Conflict-Free Replicated JSON Datatype" by Martin Kleppmann and Alastair R. Beresford.
[CRDTs](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conflict-free_replicated_data_type) are relatively recent data types designed for collaborative, distributive editing of shared documents, even while sometimes offline.
This paper should be a good introduction to CRDTs. You can find it at: [https://arxiv.org/pdf/1608.03960.pdf](https://arxiv.org/pdf/1608.03960.pdf).
The event will be held at the [PDX Code Guild](https://pdxcodeguild.com/).
