CLOUDCAMP AT QCON 11-03-10

CloudCamp is an unconference where early adopters of Cloud Computing technologies exchange ideas. With the rapid change occurring in the industry, we need a place where we can meet to share our experiences, challenges and solutions. At CloudCamp, you are encouraged to share your thoughts in several open discussions, as we strive for the advancement of Cloud Computing. End users, IT professionals and vendors are all encouraged to participate.

This CloudCamp will be more of an Un-unconference. Again we are lucky to have been invited by QCon to co-locate with their conference at the QEII Conference Centre (see below), but as as result we are restricted to one room, albeit a very large one. So for the first time we will not be breaking out for unpanel/openspaces sessions, instead we will have a US Presidential style debate - but a 4 way debate exploring 4 different views of cloud computing.

Agenda
