In the brain of Ari Zilka
Last night I attended a free session at skills matter by the terracotta founder and cto Ari Zilka.
While I was already a terracotta user it was useful to see some other terracotta use cases, apart from http session clustering.
After the session at the pub (where else 
) I got to talk to Ari about my wicket issues (see my previous post), although I had actually been having a conversation on the terracotta forum with him about it anyway. Regardless I think its always nice to be able to put a face to someone you have been conversing with on the internet. It was interesting to hear about the super large scale systems that he has worked on in the past. I also learned one of the tricks how to sell software in China, which I’m sure will come in handy one day.
I would also like to thank they guy who paid for the drinks, but as I’m terrible with names I managed to forget yours. Thank you anyway.

Could you share the cases which are super large scale systems and the tricks how to sell software in China. PS: I’m from China, a Terracotta user.

Hi,
The large scale systems were wallmart.com and several others (sorry I forget which) and apparently one of the tricks to selling software in china is to make sure it isn’t too cheap.
