I recently got the invitation to participate at the prestigious HPTS workshop. My position paper was on MEST vs REST and our approach to building the future Internet-scale applications. I don't know yet whether I'll be asked to present these ideas by giving a talk but to actually be at a by-invitation-only workshop amongst the greatest Computing Science minds is a great honour. I am looking forward to it. I do hope my new employer will let me go :-)

Mark Little will also be there and so will Paul Watson who was invited to give a talk without even having submitted a paper. This is great! Newcastle is taking over the world :-)
