A couple of weeks ago I was speaking at a German cloud and virtualization conference, dominated by attendees working at Internet Service Providers and physical datacenters. There were many sessions about cloud computing, but speakers were also covering topics like datacenter climate control and energy efficiency improvements. It is interesting to note, that there wereContinue Reading

Last week I have been speaking at BASTA!, a major developer conference in Germany with 700 attendees and speakers. I attended several dev sessions and talked to a couple of community leaders. My own session was about optimizing code for virtual desktops.
