[nycbug-talk] First CloudCamp NYC happening April 1st, 2009. (Limited registration)

[Brian Gupta]

I'm gonna be going and hope to see see some of you guys there. This
will be a great opportunity to share with others who have been active
in the cloud space. Come if you are currently using services like
EC2/S3, or are even thinking about it.

Please register ASAP as tickets are limited (and free!):
http://cloudcamp-newyork-09.eventbrite.com/)

BTW - When I say cloud there are basically three types of cloud offerings:
1) Software as a service (eg. Google Apps for Your Domain, FreshBooks,
GitHub, SalesForce, etc)
2) Platform as a service (eg. Google App Engine, EngineYard, Aptana,
Force.com, etc)
3) Infrastructure as a service (eg. Amazon Web Services, Sun Cloud,
Linode, Joyent, etc)

Here is the site for the event: http://www.cloudcamp.com/newyork/
(Press release below.)

Please feel free to let me know (on or off list) if you have any
questions, as I know some of the organizers. Also, if you know anyone
who is interested in sponsoring the event, I attached the sponsorship
docs. Payment is not required at the time of the event, just a
commitment.

Cheers,
-Brian

P.S. - I am pretty exited this event is coming to NYC.
