I’m leav­ing for New Orleans tomor­row to par­tic­i­pate in the IT Pro 2010 Con­fer­ence. This’ll be my first time at this con­fer­ence. It’s run by SBSMigration.com. It’s a some­what unique con­fer­ence in that there will be very few pre­sen­ta­tions. It’s mostly panel dis­cus­sions and work­shops. I’m help­ing Mitch Garvis run a work­shop on “Desk­top Deploy­ment and Man­age­ment Tools” and par­tic­i­pat­ing on a panel about “Will the Cloud Break or Fix Your Busi­ness Model?” The lat­ter should be inter­est­ing. The panel includes peo­ple who’ve “gone all in” on cloud com­put­ing and oth­ers who think it’s the lat­est over­hyped “next big thing”. I’m some­where in the mid­dle. I’m excited to be work­ing with Mitch, although I’m ner­vous about it as well. Mitch is the expert on Win­dows 7 deploy­ment. I’m just a begin­ner com­pared to him. It should be a fun time in New Orleans.

Oh yeah, almost for­got. I’m get­ting mar­ried in New Orleans after the con­fer­ence. And no Dee I didn’t for­get. I was jok­ing about that. I’m so excited about the mar­riage that it’s hard to remem­ber I have actual work to do while in New Orleans. Great con­fer­ence, a chance to meet up with some old friends, take in some great jazz, and then get mar­ried, what could be bet­ter than that?
