Today I helped Dave Nielsen organize the SF Cloud Camp at the Microsoft offices in downtown SF. The turnout was terrific with over 200+ attendees. At one point I was concerned that we might run out of food as I had only arranged for catering for 150 or so, but everything turned out just fine. There were lots of great presentations and I also presented RainStor in 4.5 mins and received alot of interest, particularly in tweets and later in the unconference sessions.
Looking forward to organizing more CloudCamps with Dave.
