CloudCamp London at Cloud Computing World Forum, Jun 30, 2010

We are very pleased to be co-locating this CloudCamp with the 2nd Annual Cloud Computing World Forum at Olympia - http://www.cloudwf.com/ . Please take full advantage and come along early for the free exhibition, or sign-up for the conference at a special discounted rate (see below)

Lightning Talks are restricted 5 minutes each and are absent of vendor and product pitches. If a speaker strays off track or is just plain boring you, the audience, get to 'Red Card' them and send them off!

For the Unpanel we will select the panel members on the night (if you have expertise to share put yourself forward), the panel will answer questions from the floor.

Any Unpanel discussions needing further debate will be voted on to become the topics for unconference discussions at 4.45pm.

Agenda will look a lot like this

3.30 pm Introduction by Simon Wardley.
3.40 pm Lightning Talks.

• Chris Swan, Captial SCF - "Potemkin PaaS in a Hybrid Cloud" - a look at building a platform as a service in a hybrid public/private environment, and how some of the networking and automation issues can be dealt with.
• Tom Ray, Melrose plc - "DR in the Clouds?" - Review of how Melrose Resources came to use AWS for DR rather than using traditional hosting providers. It will highlight some of the challenges and the benefits over the traditional route
• Pat Kerpan, CohesiveFT - "Stateless Server Motion vs. VMotion in the Clouds" - 'Live' migration of servers is a sexy demo, and has valid use-cases, but frequently conditions prevent this approach.  'Stateless Server Motion' is an alternative technique for the multi-platform and public cloud world, which takes full advantage of the last decade's evolution towards enterprise architectures based on open source, open standards, and loosely couple software components. A look at the pros and cons of these approaches.
• Adam Vile, Excelian - "Why Investment Banks won’t use Public Clouds – and what we can do about that" - Security conscious, regulated and tightly controlled organisations are understandably nervous about the use of public shared infrastructures. As users of large scale distributed computing solutions,with highly underutilised hardware estates they would benefit by sharing, but won’t or can’t; existing cloud infrastructures have a number of blockers for them. Adam looks at what the blockers are and what can be done to overcome them
• Joe Baguley, Quest Software - "Cloud Data Bases" - Traditional data base systems are not ideal for cloud usage, a look at the alternatives and the tools for easing transition.
• Ian McDonald, Symbian Foundation - "Building an IT infrastructure around the cloud" - How the Symbian Foundation as a new organisation decided to build an infrastructure that was all cloud based what happened and some of the lessons learned.

4.10 pm Unpanel.
4.45 pm Unconference.
5.30 pm Networking and drinks - jointly with CCWF conference attendees and exhibitors.
6.30 pm Close and leave.

Thinking ahead to October, if you have a interesting 5 minute, non product pitch, talk please let me know chris.purrington-at-cohesiveft-dot-com.
