CloudCamp is an "unconference" where early adopters of
Cloud Computing technologies exchange ideas. It is run by CloudCamp.org.
Over 60 CloudCamps have been held to date, in locations all over the
world, and a further 20 are scheduled over the next three months alone.
This CloudCamp was run by CloudCamp.org as a separate event from The
Open Group conference, but co-located with it, and was attended by many
of the conference delegates plus many more from the local area.
A period of networking (with refreshments) was followed by a welcome
from Dave Nielsen of CloudCamp, who was the meeting host and
facilitator. There were then seven "lightning talks" (5
minutes each), and a short "unpanel". This led to the
identification of 11 topics that the participants wished to discuss.
Groups were formed ad hoc and met to address the topics in two
sets of parallel sessions. Finally, Dave conducted a wrap-up, and the
meeting adjourned to a sports bar for more refreshments, provided by one
of the sponsors.
The lightning talks were given by:
- Ali Arsanjani of The Open Group Cloud Work Group
- Johnny Hatch of ReliaCloud
- Mithun Dhar of Microsoft Azure
- Steve Riley of Amazon Web Services
- Sara Cowles of enStratus
- Eugene Osovetsky of Web Servius
- Cory Von Wallenstein of Dyn
The 11 Cloud discussion topics were:
- Private to public
- Advice for newbies
- Impact of mobile devices
- Trust, encryption, and key infrastructure
- Security
- Big data
- Design patterns
- MS Azure
- Core components and APIs
- Operation
- Regulation
The wrap-up included summaries of these discussions and thanks to the
organizers and sponsors.
