I received the following email below and I think it might interest you. It’s a free online cloud computing summit with 10 webcasts varying from OVF to Security to Monetizing. Although not mentioned below one of the people presenting is Edward Haletky of AstroArch Consulting and of course the VMTN Community Forums and podcast.
Here’s the info I received, I’m personally especially interested in the OVF webcast:
