Because I haven’t been able to write as much as I would have liked I created this link list. I didn’t include all VMworld articles, just the ones I think are worth reading.
I want to highlight these 4 blogs cause they covered VMworld by far the best in my opinion and deserve some more exposure. Martijn, Simon and Jason wrote a couple of outstanding articles. And Eric Sloof video coverage was top notch again. Here are the links:
- Jason Boche: Tuesday keynotes
- Jason Boche: write up of Wednesday
- Jason Boche: VMware next gen datacenter exploration
- 20 Videos by NTPro.nl
- Martijn Lohmeijer’s write-ups
- Simon Gallagher’s write-ups

Thanks Duncan, you really did a great job.
Excellent job pulling all these links together. This is a great help for those who were not in attendence. Thank you also for the recognition. I did not get as much written as I would have liked to but I had to maintain a balance between collecting information and being tied to my computer writing. Fortunately there were enough bloggers in attendence to provide a nice variety of writing to cover all areas.
Wow, what a great collection of VMworld links. Great job, Duncan. Only the last link is not vmguru.nl, but virtualfuture.info. I didn’t check all the links, but noticed this one…
Thanks, I saw the incoming link and appreciate the commnent very much. I liked doing it although I liked a lot of other coverage as well. Layout wise the post Jason made about the Tuesday keynote is something I learned a lot from and I would like to get to that level someday.
Thanks for the nice wrapup! I had a great time blogging and attending sessions. However more than ever it was difficult to keep the balance as Jason said between gathering and summarizing information. Even keeping the balance between the different gathering methods (sessions/interviews/labs/etc.) gave me a hard time sometimes.
