What is Bluemix?
IBM Bluemix is an open-standards, cloud platform for building, running, and managing applications. With Bluemix, developers can focus on building excellent user experiences with flexible compute options, choice of DevOps tooling, and a powerful set of APIs and services.

After a brief introduction and education on the purpose and role of Bluemix, willing participants will divide into groups and then build/develop an Application, in Bluemix, to solve a simple business problem to be defined at the Meetup using services and features available in Bluemix. The goal is to be creative and innovative.
