Hello Stewart

Thanks for the info about the Sun presentation on Cloud computing. I'm interested, but quite frankly I'm not too sure if this is the right environment to be charging people £35 to learn about how we can use (and pay for) Sun's cloud services – certainly not when Minibar has a free event this Friday on Cloud Computer and Amazon has a free event on cloud computer this upcoming Tuesday – the same day as yours.

I'm not knocking your event – I'm sure it's informative and worthwhile, but if you want a large audience, the price will deter people.

Good morning

I wanted to make you aware of an event that is being held in the Sun Startup Essentials London
office next week around Cloud Computing, more details below :

 
mashup* Event:  28th April 2009, 6pm – 9pm

Theme:   Cloud Computing

"What does the cloud do best…..?"

This mashup* event will focus on which are the best applications to run
in/on the cloud and which ones locally and why!  Like outsourcing, not
everyone should do it, not every service is sensible and there are
stong opinions in both camps.

The debate will cover data ownership, security, privacy, backup,
staffing, policy and governance.   There are many applications that
should run on the cloud but but is company policy protecting the
directors or delivering shareholder return?

Price – £35 + VAT

For more information and to register go to : Mashup
