If you’re interested in the Cloud Computing and would like to get an a good idea of what Cloud Providers there are out there (I’d suggest Windows Azure) and how people are Architecting their Cloud Applications, Cloud Camp Toronto is the place for you.

CloudCamp is an unconference where early adopters of Cloud Computing technologies exchange ideas. With the rapid change occurring in the industry, we need a place where we can meet to share our experiences, challenges and solutions. At CloudCamp, you are encouraged to share your thoughts in several open discussions, as we strive for the advancement of Cloud Computing. End users, IT professionals and vendors are all encouraged to participate.

Microsoft PDC

Microsoft PDC is under way October 28th & 29th at Microsoft Head Quarters (Redmond, Washington), but be sure to Stream the Event Online or attend one of the local PDC Events. Tune in to find out more about Windows Azure, Windows Phone 7 (Silverlight & XNA).

Ring, Ring, Ring, Bring out your Data

10 Apr

Cory FowlerCory Fowler, Founder of Guelph Coffee and Code, decided to rally the community to create a movement to get Guelph to open up its data. The movement began with creating a social presence on Twitter, under the username @OpenGuelph which provided a channel to tweet the benefits that OpenData could bring.

From there Cory went on to respond to a recent blog entry “Let’s Talk – about Guelph” by Honourable Mayor Karen Farbridge.

The City of Guelph informed Cory that they are currently working on an Open Data plan, and are open to suggestions on what to include in their documents. Cory hopes that he will be able to sit on an advisory board to help mold the open data initiative that is underway. He will be looking to the Guelph Coffee & Code members for their suggestions and ideas.

OData-logo With Cory’s background in Microsoft’s Cloud Computing Platform, Windows Azure, and the recent release of the Open Data Protocol, he hopes that he will be a great asset to the City in their task.

Once the City releases the data publicly, Guelph Coffee and Code will be starting a number of projects that will consume the data using various technologies. Our goal with these projects is to enrich the Community of Guelph, while we teach new skills to our growing Information Technology sector.
