Look forward to it, see you there.
And I might even chat about one of my modules, depending on how I'm feeling on the night.
Cheers,
Deciphered.
Thanks
Thanks for posting the announcement Brian. Look forward to seeing you all here at Publicity Works on Tuesday.
Nice one PW!
Nice one PW!
see you there - I hope
I will try and make it. This will be 2 days before launching the new Peregrine site, so it might be tricky - we are working late every night at the moment to try and get everything done - but I will do my best. Also, count me in for the Drupal Melbourne committee.
I can make this one
Looking forward to catching up!
Will be there
Nice agenda. Looking forward to it.
won't be there ...
... but wishing y'all a good time. I'd love to hear how others found DrupalCon.
I'll try and make the next one.
Tim
Can't make it this time
But I definitely will one day soon. I'd love to hear about people's drupalcon experiences.

Thanks Simon, AWS.
So whats the general opinion on AWS? Who are people using: Linode, Slicehost, AWS, other?
AWS are in the lead
Amazon AWS is leading the pack in cloud development. They currently offer the widest range of canned installations with the best range of commercial and administration services at the best prices.
Fast followers are Google App Engine, Microsoft's Windows Azure, VMWare and IBM.
Other vendors are partnering up with Amazon, e.g. Oracle and Red Hat.
Some of the carriers and web hosts are starting to get involved too: Melbourne IT, Rackspace and Akamai.
Others are still thinking about it, e.g. Telstra, Yahoo and eBay.
Personally I am keeping an eye on left-of-field developments, e.g. Lime Lab's LimeDomains and LimeBits.
