Quite a nice talk about the databases, although the end was a bit rushed. Didn't stress enough when relational databases are a better choice and when the alternatives are better. Relational databases are not all bad. It depends on the circumstances.
As a sidenote I would be interested to see if these alternatives would be good to use for ORM applications.
I liked the general approach of showing NoSQL databases as an alternative to relational databases (but then, I'm biased :) In addition, the respective intros were very helpful.
Good talk, nice primer into these alternative DBs. If slight overlap with CouchDB presentation was avoided, the other DBs could have been explained a bit more.
Good talk, very informative. Maybe a bit too much for a single talk (explaining non-relational databases, giving a complete overview of the current options plus usage examples, that's quite a lot to stuff in one session).

Nice talk. Love the accent. Maybe a bit to quick and a bit more focus on the PHP angle on the matter.

Entertaining, clear and informative. Thanks Scott!
Great speaker, content was good, if a bit broad and lacking in depth. Good last-minute coordination with @janl to avoid duplicate info.
Seen some cool stuff, but it was a bit too theoretical imho. I missed some practical use cases when to use a classical RDBMS or an alternative.

Great talk! Too much information to process all at once, so I'll have to go through the slides a couple more times :)
Do I really need a RDBMS? Don't think so after this talk.
