Who: Mike Culver
When: 6:30pm on Tuesday 19th of February 2008
Where: Creative HQ => Level 4, 25a Marion Street
Zoom In Link: http://tinyurl.com/2efenn
Note: Place in not 100% set in concrete at present.
This is a combined event with JUG and LUG.
Blurb:
What's possible in a post Web 2.0 world?
Innovation continues at a mind-bending pace, and this presentation
will showcase some thought-provoking new ideas built on Web Services.
You will also learn how others, empowered by technology advances--known
as "Web Scale Computing"--created businesses that weren't practical
until recently. The session will include at least one demo in which
you'll learn how to set up a virtual server in the Cloud.
Amazon spent over a decade developing a world-class technology and
content platform that powers Amazon web sites for millions of
customers every day. Most people think "Amazon.com" when they hear the
word; however developers and entrepreneurs are excited to learn that
there is a separate technology arm of the company, known as Amazon Web
Services or AWS. Using AWS, software developers can build applications
leveraging the same robust, scalable, and reliable technology that
powers Amazon's retail business. AWS has now launched ten services
with open API's for developers to build applications, with the result
that almost 330,000 developers have registered on Amazon's developer
site to create applications based on these services.

Hey Nahum ... I saw Nigel (JUG) asking for rsvp's to get an idea of
numbers ... did u give him the expected numbers from here? It seems
like they are just looking for rough numbers as opposed to an official
registration, does that sound the case?

Yep I've been in much contact with them about it, so they have our
numbers. And yeah, just rough numbers to make sure the venue is not
too small and enough pizza and beer is on hand.

Guys,
Just a reminder that this is happening and that the location details
are correct as per this message thread.
The event starts at 6:30 but socialising starts at 6pm and Pizza +
Drink are provided. The venue can only hold 100 people so it'll pay
to get in early for a good spot.
See you all tonight,
Cheers,
Nahum.
