Feb 26th 2008 Third meeting scheduled

Our next meeting has been arranged for Tuesday 11th March @ 5:45. As usual the event will take place at the Rozmic offices in Gateshead.

The evening will follow this format:

  1. Introduction: a ten minute re-cap on our last meeting. This will act as an introduction of what AWS is and how it may be used.
  2. Presentation: Tony Lucas from XCALIBRE has agreed to travel down from Livingston in Scotland to speak at the event. Tony has 11 years experience in the hosting industry, and started building a Cloud Computing platform before most of us even knew of it. Tony will speak about his experience with Cloud Computing including the business benefits of and the downfalls. This will be an engaging talk which will cover resource management, implementation, portability/vendor lock in and dealing with scalability and growth.
  3. Technical: Simple ways to use S3 in your web applications (regardless if you use EC2 to host your application).

We are looking forward to a large turn-out so please confirm your attendance by email.
