I’m cross-posting this from the stlcloudusers.org site: First STLCCUG Meeting Tonight!.
Tonight will be the first meeting of the St. Louis Cloud Computing User Group. I’m looking forward to meeting everyone this evening.
The speakers for the evening will be Bob Lozano and Kyle Cordes.
Bob’s talk is going to focus on how we got here and why cloud computing is inevitable, and will provide some context for the wide range of things we’ve got to discuss as a user group.
Kyle is going to provide an overview of Amazon Web Services from a Developer + Business Perspective, based on his experiences using EC2, S3 and a variety of competitive offerings. He’s got a more detailed description on his blog.
We’ll officially get started at 6:30 with pizza, beer and networking. At around 6:45 I’ll take a few minutes for kicking things off and general discussion, and depending on the size of the group, introductions. The talks should be underway by around 7, and after the talks (8:30ish) we’ll open things back up for general discussion.
If you have a chance, please RSVP so we can have a sense for who’s coming and how much pizza to order, but this is an open meeting — by all means if you run into a friend on the way over, drag them along; there is no need to be preregistered.
Also, please sign up for the mailing list, and if you’ve got ideas for future talks, please float them there. We’d love to hear from you.
