<p>Auckland meetup invite is here: http://java.meetup.com/162/calendar/7173415/<o:p></o:p></p>

<p>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.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>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.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>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..<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>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.<o:p></o:p></p>
