The March 30th SuperMondays event has been announced, the speakers are:

Oli Wood – Arduino
The Arduino hardware is an open source circuit board which lots of developers, artists and home-hackers are using to build all sorts of interactive electronic kit. It runs the Processing.org language (amongst other thing) and lets you go from zero to winking lights in an hour. I’ve built a few bits and pieces with it, and I’ll tell you all about them and things that other people are doing.
Chris Barber – Trials and tribulations of an online store
How a small online business can integrate with the world’s largest internet retailer. A discussion of the business and technology challenges when integrating with Amazon.com.
Sarah Taylor – A true shower to cubicle story

Built as a micro-blogging platform with an initial focus on major European cities, Urban Digger aims to fast track high quality, local knowledge to city visitors, enabling them to plan their time more effectively. After two years under development, Urban Digger will be launching in closed beta on March 30^th. Sarah will take you through the highs and lows of turning their crazy idea into an exciting new business and the challenges of a competitive, fast moving industry.
