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 and experience in several open discussions, as we strive for the advancement of Cloud Computing. End users, IT professionals and vendors are all encouraged to participate.

Cloud, The Good, The Bad and The Ugly

At the last CloudCamp @Shanley's well received lighting talk on all the bad aspects of cloud marketing sets the scene for for us to look at ... self appointed thought leaders, the refusal to adapt (inertia), toxic IT (e.g. legacy), public vs private vs hybrid... the name, the ambulance chasers, the let's differentiate on APIs mob, the consultants, the bullshit, and anything else about cloud that annoys you ...But it's not all bad is it? Let's also have look at the good side of cloud computing and cloud successes.

Do you have a 5 minute lightning talk you'd like to give?

If so please email chrispurringtoncoheisveft.com

Of course bring along your cloud questions and opinions, you'll have the opportunity to voice them.

As always the unconference will provide vendor neutral unbiased expert opinion, answering questions and discussing issues in a fun and educational way, along with the opportunity to network with cloud users, consultants and vendors.  It is a forum where you can get your cloud questions answered in a unbiased way and meet people with real cloud experieince.

We keep vendor sales pitches to a minimum by giving the audience 'red cards' - if you don't like what the speakers are saying send them off!
