At the World Summit of Cloud Computing 2009 (IGT) [1], which will take
place in Israel from 2nd-3th December 2009, Ulf Wiger (CTO of Erlang
Training and Consulting) [2] will give a talk on Erlang's Journey to
the Clouds and a tutorial Erlang workshop. Let's meet at the IGT2009!

Talk Abstract: Erlang was invented in the 90s to address rapid
development of non-stop scalable telecoms systems. Initial
requirements included massive concurrency, distribution transparency,
in-service upgrades, plug-and-play expansion and high programmer
productivity. A rapidly growing Open Source community is now using
Erlang for scalable web services, messaging systems and cloud
computing services. In this tal k we will look at how Erlang is
breaking out of the clusters of last century and entering today's
cloud computing environments.

Tutorial Abstract: In this workshop, we will try out some of the basic
techniques for building, dynamically scaling and debugging a
distributed Erlang-based system. We will also take a look at some of
the more popular Erlang-based Cloud components.

Sounds like it could be interesting, but the price to pay is for the
whole event, and is quite substantial.

I plan on attending Ulf's talk - there's quite a buzz around Erlang for a while now and it reminds me of RoR's buzz back in 2005 ...

Clouds sounds interesting, currently we are researching option to
switch to Cloud hosting (build by ourself or maybe from EngineYard).

Do u have access code for IGT2009 promotion ? ^_^

Hi,

This year all workshops, including Erlang workshop, are FREE! (For
example last year Hadoop workshop was ~ $350 !)
You can buy ticket for the 2nd day only - Dec 3rd - It will cost you
about the same as a good meal in a restaurant ;)
There is a special price for students - 90 NIS.
This low prices are possible, because my company - Nivertech
http://www.nivertech.com - is sponsoring this event.
We want to spread message of Erlang/OTP in Israel and bring new
converts!
If you interested in Erlang/OTP, please join "Erlang Israel" group on
LinkedIn.

BR,

Zvi Avraham, CTO
