AWS Office Hours - December 8, 2010 - Topic: Amazon RDS

The first AWS Office Hours session focused on Amazon EC2. Although I was scheduled to host the event, a sudden need for dental surgery made room for Jinesh Varia and Steve Riley to step in! Here's a screen shot from the event (click on it to watch a replay):

From all accounts the event went really well and they'll be doing another event next month.

The December 8, 2010 AWS Office Hours will focus on the Relational Database Service (RDS) and will take place from 9 AM to 10 AM PST.Attendance is limited, so sign up now (Note: the confirmation page still lists the old date; we'll fix that ASAP).

You can submit questions in advance via Twitter by tagging them with #rdsofficehours. If someone else has already asked the question that you were planning to ask, re-tweet it and we'll raise its priority accordingly.

I just tried to register but it after signing up it says that the Office Hours are Nov 10th and gives me the link to the one that has already taken place.

Bummer that it is so early for Eastern and Central time zone folks...guess I will have to wait and watch the recording.

Is it possible to start at 11 am PT in the future?

This is a great addition and gives us a lot of insight.

Some suggestions:
1- Have two chat feeds, one for questions and one for chatter. It was increasingly hard to follow as complaints about the connections, side chats, and questions flew-in. If there was some way to check-off/highlight the questions you are answering/discussing, that would be great too. Need a moderator or two so you can focus on the questions.

2- Connectivity wasn't great. Not sure if it was the service being used or your connection. Try to use something that is higher-bandwidth or more reliable?

Thank you.
