</div></div>Yeah, I'd probably be interested in coming along to something like<br>
this during QCon, and if a panel makes sense happy to be involved.<br>
<br>
If anyone else is at the conference and just wants to know more about<br>
GDS I'm happy to chat too. I'll be in the Building for Clouds room<br>
most of Wednesday but hopefully around the rest of the conference too.<br>
Just summon me with @garethr on twitter.<br>
