Hi all, Just a reminder re. the NZPUG Meetup today at 5:30pm.
As previously mentioned, Alex Dong[1] will be giving the presentation tonight. Some details re. Alex follow. <quote> Founder of Haokanbu: (Nov. 2006 to Nov. 2008) China's largest photo blogging service. Recruit and grow a highly talented engineering team. Lived through all the startup roller roasters. Particularly in growing the site from one server to 11 CentOS 64-bit boxes. Technologies: django on lighttpd, mogilefs for distributed cache, memcache for distributed cache, perlbal for load balancing, squid for front-end cache and S3 as backup storage. </quote> And Alex has graciously agreed to give us a preso this coming Friday at the usual spot. So please come along! This is a great opportunity for us NZers as we probably haven't had to develop an app that approaches the kind of scale Alex has dealt with. Details of the event follow: Date: 01 May 2009 - Tonight! Time: 5:30-7:30pm URL: http://nzpug.org/MeetingsChristchurch/May2009 Talks: * Alex Dong: Alex's Adventures Developing http://www.haokanbu.com (10 App Server Farm Anyone?) Costs: As per our last meeting we'll order some pizzas on the night and get some donations (usually a few dollars) towards this then. RSVP: As per previous meetups, please send an email to <meeting-christchurch AT nzpug DOT org> to let me know, so we can make plans for after preso nibbles/etc. Look forward to seeing you all there! Kind regards, Tim [1] http://www.alexdong.com
