Wow, I filmed that video!

I cannot speak officially for the Genome Center, but I'll throw out there that the ORM that powers much of the GC's analysis platform is out on Github and CPAN.

It's actually more than an ORM in that it also supports features like automated creation/smart rewriting of class files based on database tables, quick and easy command modules that get turned into hierarchical command-line tools for free, and an automated test harness that can even parallelize onto an LSF cluster if you've got one.

Thanks for recording the talk. I enjoyed watching it.
