Vote Now for Top Virtualization Bloggers

Joshua Townsend — Mon, 04 Jan 2010 18:48:38 +0000

Happy New Year to everyone! 2010 is shaping up to be quite a good year, both personally and professionally. Between two little boys at home and a bunch of new projects at work I should stay busy. I will also continue to co-lead the Washington, DC VMware User Group (VMUG). In my spare time I will continue to write what I hope are technically sound, practical, and timely articles on VMtoday.com.

And speaking of VMtoday.com… Eric Siebert has opened up voting for the top 25 virtualization bloggers on his vSphere-Land.com site. I am very honored to be included in the ballot list of 55 of our industry’s top bloggers. Please take a few minutes to vote – a couple lucky voters will win a copy of TrainSignal’s VMware vSphere DVD training course.

Thanks for reading and best wishes for a blessed and productive 2010!

VMworld 2009 Sponsor and Exhibitor List

Joshua Townsend — Fri, 28 Aug 2009 14:57:19 +0000

The VMware ecosystem is rich and thriving, with partners, vendors, and the virtualization community at large continuing to drive innovation and producing complementary products. VMworld is where this ecosystem comes together to show the latest and greatest they have to offer, and to give a glimpse into what lies ahead. With VMworld 2009 just a few days away, the ecosystem is pulsing with increase vigor, as evidenced by the increased amount of email, Twitter traffic, and general buzz in the community.

The VMworld 2009 Sponsor and Exhibitor list is available at http://www.vmworld.com/community/conferences/2009/sponsors-exhibitors and gives good insight into who and what is part of the VMware ecosystem. If you are heading to VMworld next week, be sure to check out the exhibitor list ahead of time so you can target your time on the exhibition floor (or so you know which booths to hit up for the best schwag, tchotchke, booth babes, and T-shirts).

VMworld Here I Come

Joshua Townsend — Fri, 26 Jun 2009 21:37:24 +0000

Today is the last day for VMworld early-bird registration, and I got in just under the wire. Here’s to hoping that VMworld 2009 is as informative, fun and valuable as last years. I remember sitting in Vegas last year as the first of the big financial institutions began to fall. It will be interesting to see how the current economic condition impacts attendance, vendor quality, tee-shirt availability, and the VMworld party. Here’s to fun, free beer, and virtualization!

I’m also hoping that my wife will be able to join me and ‘geek out’ (her term) this year. If so, I’ll have to get her connected with the unofficial VMworld 2009 Spouse Activities!
