Do you remember the fun at the Erlang eXchange in London last year? Well, we
just got back from the 2009 San Francisco Bay Area Erlang Factory (Re-branded
from the Erlang eXchange). It was a resounding success, with comments, blogs and
tweets such as "Erlang Factory rocked" and "you should've been there", "Every
single talk that I went to was of very high quality"� and "The best technical
conference I attended in a long time"�.

We are now in the final phases of planning the London ****Erlang Factory**.
Very-Early Bird discounts end on Sunday mid-night 17th May. Waste no time, book
now and SAVE £100 off the standard price. Read more about it at
http://www.erlang-factory.com and register on the mailing list to receive more
frequent updates.

So far, we have confirmed Joe Armstrong, one of the inventors of Erlang, Kenneth
Lundin, Manager of the Erlang/OTP development team and Bjarne Dacker, former
head of the Ericsson Computer Science lab where Erlang was invented. Simon
Peyton-Jones has literally just confirmed he has accepted a keynote comparing
two childhood friends, Haskell and Erlang. Other speakers, 35 in total, will be
talking in six tracks over two days, spanning case studies, tools and gadgets,
test driven development and much more. They will be flying in from Europe, the
US, India and South Africa. We are adding speakers daily, so come back often and
look at
