App Engine team appearances Winter 2011

The Google App Engine team has launched some significant features recently, including: High Replication Datastore, Channel API, Always On, Warm Up requests, longer 10-minute (vs. 30-second) limit for tasks, and increased API call sizes. We are excited about these features and think you will be too, so team members will be appearing at a variety of events around the world this Winter to talk about some of these features and the platform as a whole!

One of the marquee events this quarter includes
PyCon, the largest gathering of Python developers from around the world, where several App Engine team members will be speaking:

• Brett Slatkin will talk about the Pipeline API distributed workflow manager


• Guido van Rossum, creator of Python, will do his BDFL Q&A


• Wesley Chun will discuss running Django apps on App Engine


• Both Wesley & Ikai Lan will lead a half-day Google App Engine workshop tutorial


• (Planned) OpenSpace session: Fireside Chat with Google App Engineers
