Hi all!

I'm still in the research stage at the moment, but I can tell you that when I was at university studying Computing Science in the late 80s, sitting in my database theory lectures alternately trying not to fall asleep / grind my teeth, this is what I wished databases were like. All that effort normalising tables, making it more and more obscure and further from the model - it nearly put me off for life! In stark contrast, I have high hopes for Neo4j being useful for me and I can't wait to start making useful stuff with it.

I'm a huge fan of the Open Source community. I plug Open Source wherever and to whomever I can. Software should work for the user, not against them, and it should never be possible to take it away. Open Source does that for me.

Warmly,
Pete
