Hi James, I saw this article about Slovenia and thought back on the great time we had presenting the Web2.0 track at VIPSI Slovenia. I keep mentioning the free 5gig account developers can get at Heroku and learn about the cloud. Please let us know how you are here at Codetown and think about your next JUG talks here in the Swamp.
