CloudCamp London #6, Jan 21, 2010
About CloudCamp:
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.
CloudCamp London started in 2008 we are now in our third year. 2010 looks like an exciting time for the industry, as well as the start-ups and the web 2.0 crowd we are seeing the early pragmatists in the enterprise adopting cloud computing to clear their project backlog. Come along hear and talk about your cloud activities, issues and the solutions.
Lightning Talks are restricted 5 minutes each and are absent of vendor and product pitches. If a speaker strays off track or is just plain boring you, the audience, get to 'Red Card' them and send them off!
For the Unpanel we will select the panel members on the night (if you have expertise to share put yourself forward), the panel will answer questions from the floor.
Any Unpanel discussions needing further debate will be voted on to become the topics for unconference discussions at 7.45pm.
