A Blog About Sun Microsystems Russ Castronovo

Last Friday, TechCrunch hosted a very well well attended roundtable on Cloud Computing with a number of cloud luminaries.  Hosted by Steve Gilmor and Erick Shonfeld the panel had a blue chip panel of Cloud Computing experts:

• John Engates, CTO, Rackspace
  
• Paul Buchheit, Co-founder, FriendFeed.
• Vic Gundotra, VP of Engineering, Google
• Gina Bianchini, CEO, Ning
• Marc Benioff, CEO, Salesforce.com
• Werner Vogel, Amazon Web Services CTO
• Amitabh Srivastava, Corporate VP, Windows Azure
• Mike Schroepfer, VP of Engineering, Facebook
• Scott Dietzen, SVP Communications Product, Yahoo!
• Lew Tucker, CTO Cloud Computing, Sun

The size of the panel was a bit large for great interaction, but you can't beat the line-up.  It was a little tiresome listening to Benioff always talk about his firm's earnings, but listen for yourself and see if you agree.

The event was held at Microsoft's offices in Mountain View.
