I know for many of you this will be the umpteenth time you’ve been to VMWorld,  but for me this is my first chance to go! I want to start by thanking the people who’ve helped me go, from the VMWare marketing guys giving me a blogger pass,  to a friend letting me crash at their hotel,  and everyone else – a HUGE thank you for making this possible for me.  I’ve excited tocatch up with people I’ve met on social media the last few years,  and hearing whats up and coming from VMWare and other vendors.

i wanted to share  from of the sessions i’m most looking forward to.
