CloudCamp SF Recap
Some CloudCamp highlights included an appearance Werner Vogels, Amazon CTO who actively engaged in several of our discussions. One of the more interesting aspects of the event was our use of the open spaces format in which participants define the agenda with a relatively on the fly process, and adjust it as the event proceeds. A lot of people where skeptical at first about the format quickly became fan. The format allowed for a much more indepth look at some of the opportunities and challenges in the cloud computing. The discussions ranged from "what is cloud computing" to how to scale a db to data integration and security. There seemed to be a little something for everyone.
Dave Nielsen our MC for the evening was masterful composing a cloud event most will not soon forget. Our sponsors really came through raising more then $15,000 in sponsorship in less then 3 weeks form the point we proposed the event on our cloud group to the event itself. I'd also like to thank Sara and Jesse from Sun, Sam from Appistry and Alexis from CohesiveFT for all there help in organizing the event.
I'm actually still amazed that in barely over 3 weeks cloudcamp has managed to go from an idea to a international phenomenon with another event in London on the 16th of July as well as interest in doing cloud events in New York, Montreal, Chicago, St Louis, Tel Aviv and Sydney. We're now actively organizing the London event, so if you're interested in sponsoring and or attending I would invite you to join our mailing list at http://groups.google.com/group/cloudcamp or at http://london.cloudcamp.com
I hope to see some of you at the next event!
