At this event we have the following speakers/features:
- Peter Brownell and David O'Dwyer built a scalable server infrastructure to host Schoolofeverything.com using (Drupal on Debian on) Amazon's EC2 cloud to be able to scale with growth - without the up-front expense. Did they find the switch from hardware servers to virtual machines a welcome move?
- Shaun McDonald (CloudMade) discovered OpenStreetMap during his final year at Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh and has helped run field work in ever more exotic locations since. His talk will introduce the system architecture and data/tagging model. We will then learn the practicalities of the project and go out on our own mapping party of the local area before returning to refine/update our local map with the proceeds.
As usual, we shall decant to a nearby pub for drinks and food after the meeting.
About GLLUG
Our purpose is to bring together Londons GNU/Linux users so they can share experiences and expertise (or revel in their inexperience and quest for expertise), to chat about the state of the (Linux) world, that sort of thing.
