ApacheCon and CloudStack Collaboration conference presnetations

Last week ApacheCon North America and CloudStack Collaboration Conference took place in Denver, Colorado.

During that week multiple presentations about Libcloud took place. In this post I’m including links to the slides of some of those presentations:
