DCGS Worldwide Conference 2009

October 30, 2009 By

Yesterday I was on a Chief Technology Officer (CTO) panel at the 2009 Distributed Common Groundstation (DCGS) conference in Virginia Beach VA.  The panel, which was pulled together by JFCOM J2 CTO John Marshall, included Ms. Michele Munson of Aspera, Mr. Lewis Shepherd of Microsoft, Mr. Rudi Ernst of Pixia, Dr. Kari Kelton of NSI and Ms. Casey Henson, CTO of the Defense Intelligence Agency.

Slides from the presentations at the conference will eventually be posted at the conference website.

But I also wanted to post mine here.  The briefing I give is a variant of my pitch on the future of IT, and I asked all there to please read the detailed backup slides to do some fact checking and to help me keep the briefing up to date.  If you have a few moments I’d like to ask your help in that regard as well.  Please scan through this briefing and let me know if new developments come to mind for things I should be tracking.

Thanks!

      Mike, Thanks for the note. Keeping the brief up is a good way to keep learning. It has already changed from that version with a new section on what Jeff Jonas is calling "Space-Time Travel Data".

      But your old desk will always be in here!

      Cheers,

      Bob

    Your brief has come a long way since the first time you shared it years ago – it is still on the mark.

    You know if I got a nickel everytime my desk (Virtualization slide) appeared in briefs I could really retire!

    Cloud OS – who cares – my ultra-thin appliance doesn’t care – it’s about the service.

    Aloha
