Hi all,
If you're subscribed to the NZPUG mailing list you may've heard about
Alex Dong's trip to NZ a little while back. Here's an excerpt from his
personal page[1]:
<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.

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
Time: 5:30-7:30pm
URL:
http://nzpug.org/MeetingsChristchurch/May2009Talks:
* 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
