Wednesday marked the beginning of the actual conference, as opposed to just the workshops and training sessions of the first few days. The attendance was much larger than earlier in the week, with people coming for the technical sessions and invited paper talks, and vendors have their booths set up to talk about their latest projects. As full as the schedule of the past few days have been, today it’s near the bursting point.
Werner Vogels, CTO of Amazon.com, was the keynote speaker at this year's LISA conference. His keynote was entitled "Ahead in the Clouds".
