[jgroups-dev] Online webinar to demo and discuss my mesh design concepts

I figured that one of the easiest ways to introduce myself is via a 
technical discussion.  So thus I would like to extend an invitation to 
anyone who wants to, to join me for a webinar to show off what I have 
been tinkering with lately (see below for more details).

When: Aug 18th 2010 at 10:00am Eastern (2:00pm GMT)
Register here: https://cc.readytalk.com/r/gw6zy67joqts

There will be both a web and phone component to this meeting.  We will 
view the demo through the web, and dial in via the phone to discuss and 
listen.  After you register for the meeting, the email with instructions 
on joining will include phone numbers for the US, Canada, Sweden, and 
Switzerland, but a link is provided that list toll free numbers for 
other countries as well.

After registering for the meeting, you will be emailed instructions on 
how to join the meeting.  You can register at any time, but I recommend 
registering earlier because I currently plan to send out more 
information to people who have registered for the meeting.

A very vague outline is given on the registration link.  But at a high 
level, I plan to discuss how me and my company have had a goal of being 
able to link lots of servers together, in a structure that provides:
* High performance, specifically latency focused
* Able to scale to _eventually_ handle hundreds to thousands of nodes
* Reliable

To do this, we have had several discussions about what the best way to 
accomplish our goals are.  In the end, I developed two prototypes.  The 
first prototype I stopped work on in June, and started work of designing 
a second idea.  Although the prototypes are extremely rough, don't 
always work, and I recognize that there are still big problems left to 
be solved.  They have shown enough promise to keep me going in this 
direction of work.

I am fairly convinced that this shows enough promise, that I have been 
energized to continue work on it.  My goal is that once the ideas are 
fully flushed out, that not only my company can benefit from the work, 
but also the free community.  JGroups seems to be one of the best 
options to getting my work into a state where others can take advantage 
of it.  I hope that by showing my prototypes, it will let the community 
meet me, as well as give a more clear understanding of what I want to 
accomplish, and how I think I can do it.

If you have any questions, or are unsure if this will interest you, feel 
free to email me and ask me.  If you have any recommendations based on 
the outline of what you would like to see more of, all recommendations 
are welcome (I have not done this sort of demo before).  And of course, 
if you have any problems or questions about getting into the meeting, 
let me know.

Thanks everyone, I look forward to meeting you all.
