TechDays, Microsoft’s cross-Canada conference for developers and IT pros, offers its space to tech communities to hold events free of charge when TechDays itself isn’t happening. Last year it was a series of “Camp” style events along the lines of DemoCamp abd FailCamp, and this year, CloudCamp is holding events in all eight TechDays cities on the evening before Day 1 of TechDays. TechDays Ottawa starts tomorrow, which means that CloudCamp Ottawa happens tonight!

It doesn’t matter whether your preferred cloud computing system is Microsoft’s, Amazon’s, Rackspace’s or anyone else’s – CloudCamp is for anyone with an interest in the cloud, regardless of technology stack or vendor.
