It’s that time of year again. Time to gather new supplies and prepare for the inevitable dodgeball match. Sure, it is the start of the school year, but also VMworld 2012! Find Cisco at Booth 1213 and beyond. Here’s what’s happening:
Cisco at VMworld: Speaking Sessions, Demos, and More
Warm up with a Tweetchat on the Cisco UCS Advantage with experts Josh Atwell, Scott Hanson, and M. Sean Mcgee. Follow #CLUS on August 15 starting at 10 AM PST.
Speaking of UCS, we’ll be featuring the #UCSChallenge in Booth 1213 again this year! What happens when you mix technologists and life-size foam UCS puzzle pieces?
Come out and take the challenge! Watch and see:

But wait, there’s more! We’re featuring not one but two Roving Reporters. You may remember Josh Atwell from his coverage at Cisco Live! He’ll be covering the beat again, including attempting to LiveTweet from his own session (VSP-1856). A sys admin here at Cisco, Josh is very involved in the tech community, from leading UCS UG’s in the Carolinas to being named a vExpert this year.
Follow along at #ciscovmw and on their blogs and youtube as they interview and post clips from the show. They’ll cover the hallway track for everyone within Moscone and beyond!
