Weekly Events Update - Tuesday 26th July

Apologies for the late post, unfortunately sometimes actual development gets in the way.

Last week

The Disruptor was nominated for the 2011 Java Innovation Awards.

We made a change to the application which means that FX trading is now only shut down for 5 minutes after 10pm, instead of 30 minutes.

A team of LMAX cyclists completed the London to Cambridge Bike Ride, raising money for Breakthrough Breast Cancer, and no-one (from our team) died.

The public calendar (viewable on the right hand side of this blog) is up to date with all the events we're attending or would like to attend.

Upcoming Technology Events

Since going live last year, LMAX technologists have been attending and presenting at a number of events.  We've decided to write a weekly blog post summarising what's on the horizon to give people more of an opportunity to attend - after all, we want you guys to come and see us.

The calendar is fairly fluid, and sometimes confirmation doesn't arrive until the last minute, so things may change week by week.  However, a regular update will at least give some visibility over what's in the pipeline.


22nd June, 4pm - Ultra High Performance Risk Management: Informatica Webinar Featuring Martin Thompson, CTO, LMAX.

5th October - TradeTech Architecture.  Martin Thompson, CTO, will be on one of the panels.

11th October - Goto Aarhus.  Martin Thompson (CTO) and Dave Farley (Head of Software Development) will be presenting the LMAX Disruptor pattern: "100K transactions per second at less than 1ms latency".

Upcoming LMAX Technology events

Senior LMAX techies will be presenting at a couple of events this week:

• Tomorrow, Mike Barker will be at the STAC Performance Summit, on the panel discussion: The Future of Messaging Middleware.  He'll be using his experience as Lead Developer here to answer questions on how developers really use messaging.
• On Friday, Dave Farley, Head of Software Development, will be presenting on Continuous Delivery at the ThoughtWorks Manchester Open Day.  Continuous Delivery is key to how LMAX can adapt quickly to change and release updates to the platform frequently and in a timely fashion.
