ArchCamp

We like scaling big systems, do you?

ArchCamp is a meetup for engineers, by engineers. The goal is to talk about building systems (often at high scale) without having to listen to any sales pitches.

Event format:

20 min - mingle & discussion about the last event

40 min - lightning talks 5 minutes. (laptop setup is on your time, not ours)

60 min - open discussion about the topic du jour

We have a meetup every 4 to 6 weeks

The cornerstone event for this meetup is the ArchCamp unconference. We are aiming to to this four or five times a year with smaller events in between.

We (attempt to) stream live now! http://qik.com/archcamp

If the stream isn't up we will post all meetups to youtube as well.
