QCon San Francisco 2010
QCon is one of my favorite conferences. Although it’s a relatively small gathering compared to TechEd or JavaOne, it always has an awesome selection of sessions and speakers. Last year was amazing, and I had the honor of presenting a session (Patterns for Cloud Computing) in one of the many great tracks.
This year (San Francisco, Nov 3 – 5, 2010), I’ll be participating in a panel to talk about data in the cloud. For most organizations, I think this is one of the most important aspects of moving applications to the cloud. For example: How should organizations store data in the cloud? What type of storage is best (relational, non-relational, structured, blob, something else)? How do organizations manage encrypted data in the cloud? All in all, I’m really looking forward to an exciting discussion. Fellow panelists include Amir Awadallah (CTO of Cloudera), Damien Katz (Creator of CouchDB), and Roger Bodamer (SVP of MongoDB).
If you are planning on attending this year, I look forward to seeing you there. If you are not, and would like to get a discount on your registration, feel free to use the following promotional code: GUES100. By using the code, you’ll receive $100 off your registration price and the organizers of the event will donate $100 to the St. Anthony Foundation in San Francisco.
But wait! There’s more! If you use the registration code I’ll donate an extra $100 to St. Anthony’s for the first ten attendees. So that’s a great conference, $100 off the ticket price, plus $200 on your behalf to a great cause! Hope to see you there!
