## #VMworld 2014 Curated Resources

The purpose of this post is to assemble resources shared about [VMworld's 2014 Conference](http://connect.mulesoft.com/), 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](http://twitter.com/danieljluebke) or [ServiceRocket](http://twitter.com/servicerocket). I’ll be sure to add it.

> ## What is a backchannel?
> 
> *A [backchannel](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/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](https://twitter.com/billcush/status/463713749254561792). *
> 
> ## What is curation?
> 
> *I am not talking about curating art at a gallery, although that is extremely glamorous. I am talking about [curating content](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Content_curation) from a conference using a conference backchannel as a means for following, collecting, and sharing resources about the conference and the conference topic. *
