The OpenStack Conference is a nice change of pace from the design summit. The conference is more about announcements,  case studies, and forward-looking discussion. There is plenty of coverage of these in the blogosphere.

Ewan Mellor and I gave a talk that looked toward the future of the Xen and OpenStack by first looking at the history of Xen.org and the cloud. Visionaries, such as Ian Pratt, started thinking about utility computing even before the Xen hypervisor was even released.
