Cloud Computing Seminar with Werner Vogels and Marten Mickos
Amazon, RightScale and MySQL (Sun Microsystems) will be hosting the Executive Seminar on Cloud Computing at NASDAQ MarketSite (NY) tomorrow.
Since I have been busy developing our new startup on EC2, it would be great to catch up with Mårten Mickos and Dr. Werner Vogels whom I originally met at Structure 08.
Cloud Computing is probably the most abused buzz word, but if anyone rightly deserves to be in the cloud computing space, it's Amazon.
Speakers at the seminar include Dr. Werner Vogels (CTO Amazon), Mårten Mickos (ex-CEO of MySQL) and Michael Crandell (CEO RightScale). I am hoping to catch up with Mårten Mickos during the event. He is a great guy and probably the most favorite Open Source CEO.
I find it funny that the event site still shows Mårten's title as "SVP of Sun Microsystems’ Database Group," even though Marten resigned in February.
