      <title>Cloud Camp Detroit</title>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;
Tonight, I attended the Cloud Camp Detroit, which was built primarily around Open
Spaces discussion and a panel discussion in front of an audience. The basics of cloud
computing, specific cloud implementations and issues such as security were discussed.
The "eyes-front" presentations were limited to half a dozen lightning talks. 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
I had a chance to interact with a lot of people far more experienced than me in this
area. Many of them work outside the .Net world, so talking with them helps me see
the software industry in a different perspective.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
I filled in for a sick friend to deliver a presentation on Windows Azure. Below are
the slides from my presentation. Thanks to Abe Pachikara of Microsoft&amp;nbsp;for supplying
the slides.
&lt;/p&gt;
