Next Wednesday, June February 10th, I’ll be presenting at the Boston Cloud Services Meetup on the Windows Azure Platform.  This group was organized less than a year ago, but already boasts about 300 members and regularly draws 30 – 40 at each meeting.  Given the emerging nature of cloud technology, it’s a great forum to learn and discuss all aspects of cloud computing within a passionate and interactive group.  Many of the presentations thus far have focused on Software-as-a-Service and governance/security issues, so I’m looking forward to chatting more about Platform-as-a-Service and what the Windows Azure Platform brings to the table. The second presentation of the evening will be by Gil Rapaport, Co-founder and President of Viewfinity, which provides a SaaS solution for managing the support and control of desktops, laptops and Windows servers, regardless of worker location. The meetings are hosted at Aprigo, 460 Totten Pond Road, Suite 660, Waltham, MA, by the Meetup founder Tsahy Shapsa, and begin at 6:30 p.m. Please RSVP at the Boston Cloud Services Meetup site, so they have an accurate count for pizza and drinks.
