Last week I participated in the MeriTalk panel at the Reagan Center in Washington D.C. that focused on implementation of cloud computing within the federal government.  The panel included GSA CIO Casey Coleman, Assistant Deputy Under Secretary of Defense Comptroller Radha Sekar, Navy CIO Robert Carey, and Director of the National Business Center at the Department of the Interior Doug Bourgeois.  MeriTalk describes itself as an "online community at the crossroads of IT and public policy."  A very interesting conversation followed...

The forum was "on the record" and can be viewed below.  Several interesting topics were explored. First, the gap between the current "commercial" cloud offerings and the needs and requirements of federal agencies. Second, the gap between the current federal budgeting and procurement process and the ideal operating and business model of on-demand cloud services.  Watch the pre-panel interview here:
