My world has been consumed by the VMwold, so let me run down a list of all the things you should check out. First, there is the Schedule Builder, which you should use if you are planning to attend any of the sessions you actually like, instead of what’s left over. However, we will have many of the popular sessions running multiple times to ensure everyone who’s interested gets a chance to participate. Simply go to vmworld.com and click on Las Vegas conference link, then look in the left nav for the schedule builder link.
Then there’s your chance to be part of the General Session video. If you submit a short video in which you say things like “My cloud” and “VMware” and stuff, your video can make it into the big mashup the VMworld folks are making for the General Session. Be creative, and funny, and we’ll all see you on the big screen! Go to the conference page, select either Las Vegas or Copenhagen, and you will see the link to the details for this on the left.
Oh, and as of yesterday, I am registered to go to the show, and that is kinda cool. It’s one thing to know you’re going, and it’s a whole different thing to have the confirmation email in your inbox.
On Facebook, the VMware vCloud team shared a bunch of cool links to studies and blog posts you should check out. Among them, a post from Train Signal listing top resources to learn about vCloud Director. You will find all the links at facebook.com/vmwarevcloud
The VMware for Healthcare IT has been sharing their sessions at VMworld as well as a case study from MidMichigan Health. You can find that at facebook.com/vmwarehit
Let’s have a look at the upcoming events in the world of virtualization.
