Updates
- October 2, 2007 - We now have a confirmed date of November 15, 2007. At the moment the venue is Indoor Playground but it's looking like we're going to exceed our capacity there. Working on a bigger space.
- September 26, 2007 - Dates are starting to take shape, right now the thinking is sometime the week of November 12-16. Likely the Monday, Tuesday or Thursday. We have a venue commitment for <50 people and are working on some ideas in case we go over that #. Amazon is aware of the event and we're working to try and get someone up from their AWS team to participate in the event.
Overview/Description
Format would be similar to FacebookCamp where we'd have a few tech/how-to conversations followed up with demos of what the local community has been doing with the various AWS services. More than anything it would be a great venue for those of us developing on this infrastructure to find & get to know each other.
If this event might be of interest to you please add your name below.
Thx - Ryan
Event Ideas/Suggestions
- Topics should cover the main AWS services. S3, SQS, EC2, and FPS (Could use someone in the beta to talk about FPS). -- dave
- I'd like to see an example of using S3 with MySQL - Jamie McQuay
Potential Presentations
- Someone from FreshBooks would be willing to come and talk about FPS - Ben V
- Enomaly can demo several AWS related products including ElasticDrive, Enomalism and ElasticLive - Reuven
- Clay Tablet could demo our product (running EC2/SQS/S3) - Ryan C.
- I can talk about Zoomii's logging approach - structured logs, real-time and historical, backed up on S3, from many network-unaware processes across many EC2 instances - Chris Thiessen
- I can also talk about Zoomii's load-balancing approach: a non-blocking Java proxy server that discovers worker servers and what they're serving through 'leases' uploaded to S3 - Chris Thiessen
- I can talk about AideRSS architecture: EC2 and SQS and how we scaled up our system to 100+ EC2 servers. (Ilya Grigorik)
