Didn't manage to snag tickets to WWDC 2012? Fear not, for one group of plucky people is putting on a WWDC clone. Apple's Worldwide Developer Conference is the biggest thing on a developer's calendar.

One of the much anticipated announcements to come out of WWDC 2011's opening keynote was Apple's new iCloud service.
