#VMworld 2014 Curated Resources
The purpose of this post is to assemble resources shared about VMworld's 2014 Conference, during and soon after the event. VMworld will be held in San Francisco from August 25-28 at The Moscone Center, promising the opportunity to “learn from each other and inspire each other to realize greater achievements in virtualization.”
I will be updating this post as new resources come in through the backchannel on Twitter at #Connect14. If you have resources to share, please tweet a link using the hashtag #VMworld and mention me or ServiceRocket. I’ll be sure to add it.
What is a backchannel?
A backchannel is the practice of using computers (ok, smartphones mostly) to maintain a real-time, online conversation alongside a primary group activity, event, or conference. Backchannels are mainly used by people who want to participate in a conference without attending the conference. But guess what, it turns out, people at the conference participate, too…sharing resources and their experiences at the conference. People also use it to otherwise connect with each other.
What is curation?
I am not talking about curating art at a gallery, although that is extremely glamorous. I am talking about curating content from a conference using a conference backchannel as a means for following, collecting, and sharing resources about the conference and the conference topic.
List of Resources
As I discover resources and as people share them throughout the week of VMWorld, I will add to this list.
