Join the Madison Ruby on Rails group on May 9th at 6 pm for a

The full details of the event are here:

Here is a quick summary:

What’s possible in a post Web 2.0 world? Innovation continues at a  
mind-bending pace, and this presentation will showcase some  
thought-provoking new directions that Web Services are headed in. The  
presentation will provide an overview of Amazon Web Services,  
including a Web Service named Mechanical Turk that allows computers to  
make requests of people, an online storage service, a Virtual Server  
service, and more. There will also be a demo showing how to set up the  
virtual server. But mostly this will be an opportunity to have a  
discussion about innovation and entrepreneurial tools.

thanks,  
Rob
