December ACUG Monthly Meeting - The Twelve Clouds of Christmas Come join us for the next Austin Cloud User Group meeting. If you are interested in cloud computing, and somewhat close to Austin, this is the group for you! All are welcome. The ACUG December meeting will be Tuesday, December 20, 2011 from 6:00-8:00 PM at Pervasive Software. Sponsor: BazaarVoice Topic: The Twelve Clouds of Christmas is a series of 5 minute lightning demos given by you, the membership!

Sign up by emailing austin-cug-admin@googlegroups.com to demo anything cloud - Amazon/Azure/Opsource/Terremark/GAE/etc, Salesforce/cloud apps, whatever! No slides please, just demos (though I guess screenshot/video demos are OK).
