Hey folks,

We certainly are having a Nov. meeting, and it'll be a very interesting
one.  We're having a Systems Engineer from AMD come talk about the AMP
Technology platform on AMD and 64 bit.  I'm sorry it's not on the
calendar yet, but I'll be sure to have it by tomorrow.

As a primer for the presentation, we've been working with AMD to get
this under discussion.  Thanks to NYPHP's Michael DeWitt and reps from
AMD, we have a complimentary dual AMD64 box for testing.

In fact, I've been on the PHP-Internal list discussing getting PHP up to
par on lib64 systems.

See http://www.zend.com/zend/week/week209.php for the work I and others
have done on taking AMP to the 64 bit platform.

I've documented all the gotchas, intricacies, and basic steps of working
on a lib64 platform, including Apache, MySQL, SuSE, and Red Hat.  As
part of NYPHP's AMPeers project, I'll be publishing a detailed article
on how to deploy on this next generation platform.

If anyone wants the raw documentation and tutorial, feel free to contact
me now.

I know it's right before T-Day, but you won't want to miss it.  David
from AMD is a highly skilled tech that you can hit with the tough
questions, so we're looking forward to a great pre T-Day meeting.

Sorry for the delay folks.  We'll get the announcement up tomorrow but
put this meeting on your calendar.
