What a month! June has really been busy!! Just now getting around to doing a post about CloudExpo 2011 in New York.With over 5000 delegates in attendance, it was just a massive gathering of Clouderatti.  Due to another engagement I had at the Ronald Reagan Building in Washington, DC on June 7th ( FCN/CDW-G Making Cloud Achievable), I had to leave CloudExpo after the first day.

With my sincere apologies for being tardy, here is my presentation from that event.
