Attending TechEd Europe?

Vote for Cloud Sessions

There are two cloud-related sessions in the “community” section of Microsoft TechEd Europe 2009 and you need to vote for them here if you are attending the conference (and obviously if you want them in the agenda).

Basically, both are on cloud computing: one for developers and the other for IT professionals:

Going to the Cloud: Are we crazy?

Are cloud services about efficiency or negligence? About being able to outsource commodity services and concentrate on core competence or loosing control and risking getting out of compliance? Which IT services can be safely moved to the cloud and which should stay in house? Let’s get together and discuss the present and the future of Software + Services use in our companies, share success stories, lessons learned, discuss concerns and best practices.

Developing on Azure: Stories from the Trenches

Have you given Windows Azure a try? Whether it was just kicking the tires or you are deep in the enterprise application development, let’s get together and share the lessons we learned on the way.

Both topics are near and dear to my heart, and as a matter of fact, will be moderated by me should they get into the agenda.

So if you want these sessions in Berlin this November, please cast your vote here.
