Varnish User Group Meeting 2009-09
VUG Report
The VUG has ended, and a report is available here
Welcome to the World's First VUG meeting
Update: We will start 09:00 London-time on Monday. The meeting is at Canonical's offices in Millbank Tower.
- Location: Canonical, Millbank Tower, London, UK
- When: September 21st 09:00-> and 22nd, 2009
- Who: Varnish administrators and developers
We are pleased to announce the world's very first and rather unique "Varnish User Group" meeting.
One reason it is unique, is that there exists no such thing as a Varnish User Group.
The reason we go for the user group meeting format, is that we don't have time or energy to make it a "conference", so what we did was find some rooms, put a cross in the calendar and hope that it turns out all right.
At this point we have no idea what we will do with respect to food, drink or sleep, make your own arrangements.
On the upside, I can almost guarantee that there will be no lengthy power-point presentations in incomprehensible dialects, followed by lukewarm coffee and those weird cakes they serve, which nobody from the other conference tracks wanted to touch either.
