What is everyone working on?

Want to share your own project or idea? Drop an email to entrepreneurship@ed.ac.uk by 2pm Tuesday with a simple 2-3 sentence explanation of what you’re up to and what feedback you’re looking for from the audience. Bring your thinking caps and supportive vibes! Oh yeah, and free wine.
Wednesday 29th September: jclouds at Cloudsoft (well, nearby), 6:30pm at Appleton Tower 8th Floor
Please join jclouds first event in Edinburgh two floors above the Cloudsoft office, starting at 6:30pm on Wednesday evening. The agenda includes a brief review of jclouds APIs such as BlobStore and ComputeService in Java and clojure, and how employing these help you avoid cloud vendor lock-in while at the same time improving testability. Finally, we’ll show how you can use jclouds to cloud-power tools such as the Infinispan datagrid, Hudson, Hadoop, and Cassandra. Many thanks to Cloudsoft for providing the opportunity, venue, and of course, the drinks!

There are thousands of companies out there, so how do you make yours stand out from the crowd? How do you persuade journalists to write about you, your company/organisation? Email links@jciedinburgh.org.uk to RSVP.
Friday 1st October: Edinburgh Coffee Morning, 8am at Centotre (George Street)

Dang, it’s October already?!?!?!….
