We're looking forward to our next multi-agency innovation meet-up.  (Our friends at HPD have agreed to host, and we will soon announce the exact location.)  This time we are going to be talking about the public cloud.  The initial agenda is as follows, and it may be updated as the day approaches to reflect everyone's interests:

1. Welcome
2. Choosing the Cloud, and Choosing the Right Option
3. Standing Up Applications in the Cloud
4. Security in the Cloud
5. Open Discussion
