In his recent Wolfe's Den blog entry, Alex Wolfe of InformationWeek has a video that he did with Lew Tucker at CommunityOne East in March.  Although the news around for the video is about recent news about Sun (which I won't comment on).  Here's the video in which Lew and Alex talk Cloud Computing.

Also, there will be tons of opportunities for this type of information at CommunityOne West in June.

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.
