The event is hosted by @IBMCloud, but there is no expectation to talk about IBM, its strategy, or its products. The company is taking the enlightened view that good conversation is good for everybody.<\/p>\n
The nominal topic is whether the term PaaS is dying, whether it will soon (or some day) simply be integrated into IaaS.<\/p>\n
I generally loathe this sort of metaphysical conversation except late at night in places with dramshop insurance. <\/p>\n
That said, it should be fun. Among the panalists will be Judy Hurwitz, who’s been a definitive font of IT knowledge for more years than either she or I care to remember. She’s been on a tear recently, writing innumerable articles and several good books about Cloud Computing in all its forms and the world of XaaS. Judy is always practical.<\/p>\n
As I hope to be as well. As I recently wrote, I’m involved with a new datacenter project, which itself is part of an overall strategy for a software start-up. I am looking at PaaS in all its forms – independent, bound to an ecosystem, open-source, and all grey areas to be found.<\/p>\n
Our chat will be found on Twitter at #cloudchat.<\/p>\n
Please feel free to chime in with comments as the thing unfolds.<\/p>\n
