Are you a developer in Australia or New Zealand? In February I'll be visiting New Zealand and Australia on the first-ever Amazon Web Services evangelism tour. I'm really excited about the trip--especially because I lived in New Zealand briefly many years ago, and have not had the opportunity to visit since.
So far there is a really solid lineup of user groups--ranging from Linux to .NET developers. There are still some daytime slots open on my calendar if you'd like a private meeting, school class presentation, etc.--or if you just want to have tea or coffee. In fact, one Monday evening is still available in Melbourne if you run a user group. Take a look at our Evangelism Wiki and request a meeting if you're interested.
We've made all sorts of recent announcements about new services such as Amazon SimpleDB, so there's lots for us to have a conversation about!

Hi Mike,
I'm interested in hearing more - when are you in Melbourne? I know a number of people who would be interested in hearing you speak - I think I might be able to pull together a good crowd.
Is that night still free?
Let me know at andrew.stuart@flatraterecruitment.com.au
Thanks
Andrew

Hi Mike,
Are you coming past Western Australia at all?

The relationship between Australia and New Zealand is somewhat similar to that of other neighbouring countries with a shared British colonial heritage, such as Canada and the United States. Some have defined the relationship as less one of friendship than of brotherhood, beset by sibling rivalry. Trans-Tasman relations is often used as a shorthand expression for the relationship between the two countries, since they are separated by the Tasman Sea.
