RALEIGH, NC, August 13, 2010 (Press-News.org) Last year, the cloud cognoscenti set out to clarify definitions. What is cloud? What isn't cloud? What does it mean for the present and the future?

The discussion will be moderated by Dana Gardner, principal analyst at Interarbor Solutions and ZDNet blogger.
