#storagebeers – the future

#storagebeers are a great social event and we even now have discussion of a spin-off in #virtualbeers which is being arranged by the London VMWare community. 

But they are just beers and I was wondering if there is any appetite to make it something more; I'm thinking along the lines of an unconference. 

So is anyone interested? Are there any vendors who would perhaps be interested in hosting? What would people like to see as items for discussion? Is there anyone interested in helping me get this off the ground? 

I've got no idea how to go about getting this off the ground BTW! I'm just floating an idea!

#storagebeers – April 15th

I'm kind of struggling to come up with a venue for #storagebeers on 15th April! I'm trying to ensure that we drink in reasonably interesting pubs and not the normal chain pubs!!

At the moment, I'm favouring the Hoop and Grapes which is very close to Aldgate Station. This has the advantage of being reasonably close to Brick Lane and other eateries. So unless anyone has better suggestions, it'll be the Hoop and Grapes. 

The Hoop and Grapes has an interesting history and is the only surviving 17th Century timber-framed building in the City of London.  

Please come along but note there will also be a couple in May as well.

If you are attending IP Expo tomorrow and why wouldn't you be as the great blogger Chad Sakac is speaking amongst others; there will hopefully be a meet-up afterwards for beers at the The Atlas pub round the corner.

Please come along and join the discussion; the only rules are no vendor baiting and product pimping! It would be great to put some faces to names. And I really don't want to drink by myself! 

If you have any questions about the job I've posted about; it would be a great place to try and quiz me.

Important Announcement

This is a very important announcement; there will be #Storagebeers on Wednesday 7th October following the first day of the IP Expo. IP Expo is being held 7th-8th October at Earls Court, London. It has a rather good list of keynote speakers and should be one of the better events in the UK this year.

Venue for drinks has yet to be finalised and any suggestions would be welcomed. Vendor sponsorship is always appreciated at such events but it will be a vendor neutral engagement i.e no fighting!!

And beer should never be virtualised or thin-provisioned!

I'll certainly tweet the venue once it has been agreed!! I look forward to seeing as many of you as possible!
