Friday, March 27, 2009

Wanted to let everyone know that next week is Cloud Computing Expo in New York City. http://cloudcomputingexpo.com/ Tickets are still available and I have a line on low price tickets. (IE: Free) Please feel free to email me at brian.gupta@brandorr.com if you need tickets.

CloudCamp NYC on the other hand is sold out. (If you really want to go I suggest getting on the waiting list). I am really looking forward to both events, and plan to post my thoughts afterwards.

One note of interest. The controversial Cloud Computing Manifesto, has been posted three days early.
