Well, I won't be around or I'd volunteer to talk about SQLite.  If
someone else knows it or wants to research it for the meeting I think
it's a great tool that's not as well known.  It's popular with both Ruby
on Rails and the Python web frameworks since it's great for rapid
development.  It only requires creating a file, so it's easy for
developers to have their own database for development, and the simple
support for in-memory databases is great for creating test databases
while running unit tests.
