Mike Culver, Web Services Evangelist at Amazon, will be speaking to a
cross-functional group, with invitations going out to Java, PHP, Ruby and
Microsoft user groups.

What is possible in a post Web 2.0 world? Innovation continues at a
mind-bending pace, and this presentation will showcase some
thought-provoking new directions that Web Services are headed in. The
presentation will provide an overview of Amazon Web Services, including a
Web Service named Mechanical Turk that allows computers to make requests of
people, an online storage service, a Virtual Server service, and more. There
will also be a demo showing how to set up the virtual server. But mostly
this will be an opportunity to have a discussion about innovation and
entrepreneurial tools.

Amazon spent ten years developing a world-class technology and content
platform that powers Amazon web sites for millions of customers every day.
Most people think ?Amazon.com? when they hear the word; however developers
are excited to learn that there is a separate technology arm of the company,
known as Amazon Web Services or AWS. Using AWS, developers can build
software applications leveraging the same robust, scalable, and reliable
technology that powers Amazons retail business. AWS has now launched ten
services with open API?s for developers to build applications, with the
result that over 290,000 developers have registered on Amazon? developer
site to create applications based on these services..

Mike Culver joined the Developer Relations Group of Amazon Web Services in
May, 2006. Mike brings with him fifteen years of technology leadership
experience, including at companies such as Microsoft. In addition Mr. Culver
has a strong background running an IT organization, with over a decade of
experience in the Electrical Wholesale Distribution industry. As a Web
Services Evangelist at Amazon, he helps developers take advantage of
disruptive technologies that are going to change the way we think about
computer applications, and the way that businesses compete.
