BarCamp Orlando

On a rainy day in Orlando, Morph presented to an enthusiastic crowd of hackers, technologists, and creative types at BarCamp Orlando. In typical BarCamp fashion we presented our product without a lot of commercial overtones, introducing the crowd first to the Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) concept and then to the Morph Application Platform and Morph AppSpaces; the first true PaaS for Ruby on Rails applications. You can find slides from the event, not just ours but all of the presenters, along with links to blogs, pictures, and more on the BarCamp Orlando wiki.

Overall, BarCamp Orlando had a great vibe, was spread across great locations in the heart of Downtown Orlando, and was packed with great people with plenty of excitement for all-things technology. There is definitely a strong Ruby crowd in Orlando, and our sponsorship of the
latest Rails Envy podcast leading into the event helped get people excited about Morph. If you haven't attended a BarCamp, and you are at all interested in the latest technology, find your local event and go.

Just a note to Gregg and his crew. You did a great job with BarCamp Orlando and we are happy to have been a part of it. Thanks!
