Office 2.0 is so much more than just another ____(insert word) 2.0 conference. Now in its third year, Office 2.0 mastermind Ismael Ghalimi has created the official event that is documenting the migration towards an entirely new infrastructure of cloud-based business applications, content, and data.

Office 2.0 = the future of enhanced interpersonal, cross team, and business-to-business productivity and collaboration.

I’ll let the pictures tell the rest of the story:

The Office 2.0 Conference opens its doors in San Francisco next week I’ll be attending the event from the opening reception to the very last panel – along with The Bub TV crew.

Now in its third year, this is one of the few conferences that I genuinely look forward to. I’m an avid enthusiast of online workflow applications and mashups and not only do I have the opportunity to see what’s new and what’s next, I also can meet the creators as well as thought leaders who are forging the next landscape for collboration and productivity.

Visit the Office 2.0 site for the full agenda.

Paid attendees will receive the new HP Mini-Note UMPC. Register here.

Speakers include:

In memory of Marc Orchant.

Cyndy Aleo-Carreira at the Industry Standard certainly did her homework in her short and sweet post that details the short history of applications submitted by companies attempting to trademark the ubiquitous and ever-evolving term “cloud computing.”

The latest chapter in the on going saga of trademarking Cloud Computing involves Dell. The company submitted submitted application number 77139082.

C 040. US 100 103 106. G & S: Custom manufacture of computer hardware for use in data centers and mega-scale computing environments for others

IC 042. US 100 101. G & S: Design of computer hardware for use in data centers and mega-scale computing environments for others; customization of computer hardware for use in data centers and mega-scale computing environments for others; design and development of networks for use in data centers and mega-scale computing environments for others; Consulting services for data centers and mega-scale computing environments in the fields of design, selection, implementation, customization and use of computer hardware and software systems for others; Consulting services for data centers and mega-scale computing environments in the fields of design, selection, implementation, customization and use of computer hardware and software systems for others

The application will most likely get killed, but it’s a nice try. That’s just like a company trying to TM the word windows.
