Velocity 2008

O'Reilly have announced a new conference called Velocity. From their front page:

Velocity is the new O'Reilly conference for people building at Internet scale, happening on June 23-24, 2008 at the San Francisco Airport Marriott in Burlingame, California.

Web companies, big and small, face many of the same challenges: sites must be faster, infrastructure needs to scale, and everything must be available to customers at all times, no matter what. Velocity is the place to obtain the crucial skills and knowledge to build successful web sites that are fast, scalable, resilient, and highly available.

This is exciting and close to my current interests with EC2 and other scaling methods. I can't wait to see a list of speakers/sessions.

I've been to several O'Reilly conferences now (MySQL UC 2005, OSCON 2006 and ETel). They are always very well done, and now I need to find someone to send me to this one :)
