Mark, I can definitely repurpose the demo I'm about to do on april 10th @ NYC CloudStack MeetUp.
My use case however is tailored mostly to VMWare, ASC4.1/ACS4.1 (if released by then) in traditional corporate infrastructure - that is willing to go cloud - but realizes that it wont happen overnight. While my use case will speak to at least 50% of users or more, we need may need one more speaker who can talk XEN/KVM and mention AWS like solution. How much time do they allocate for presentation and how many presentations are usually done within one cloud expo?
