Hi Stony

Appreciate the feedback, Im just hosting the event on behalf of Mashup,

its a generi cloud

event focused on a discussion and panel session, with some great

participants involved.
Dont worry I wouldnt charge for a Sun only cloud event, and Im

sponsoring this weeks mini bar as well

and would have been there to talk about Suns cloud offering, but

unfortunately other commitments have

kept me at home.
If you click on the Mashup website you can see all the details and the

other events that Tony and Simon

run as well, always well attended and run, so I apologise if this caused

any confusion re charges etc.
