This CloudCamp will be more of an Un-unconference. Again we are lucky to have been invited by QCon to co-locate with their conference at the QEII Conference Centre (see below), but as as result we are restricted to one room, albeit a very large one. So for the first time we will not be breaking out for unpanel/openspaces sessions, instead we will have a US Presidential style debate - but a 4 way debate exploring 4 different views of cloud computing.
