While SF is still asleep (or slowly waking up), hereby a quick blogpost on the buzz from the second Citrix Summit day. The last day exclusively for partners and system integrators, as today the Synergy starts, which opens up the event for all clients and users as well.

The second Summit day mostly consisted on Hands-on-Labs reports, with little detailed information, due to the NDA.

With little information found so far, here are some ‘newsflashes’ I tracked down regarding the Citrix Summit:
