[buug] ACCU meeting on Wednesday 'Google App Engine'

[Glen Jarvis]

I received this information on the Google App Engine. We expressed  
interest in this during our talk, so I wanted to forward it on.

It is in Mountain View, but we may be able to carpool. Please also  
note that this may be the same information that was presented at  
Google Camp Fire One (http://code.google.com/campfire/  Bottom video  
on page). I have no idea how different this information is, but,  
there's also a community aspect of showing in person.

I'm not currently committing to going - this is for your information  
only....


Warmest Regards,


Glen Jarvis
