Hi Aldrey, Mike and Nicolas.
Thank you for sharing yours points of view.
Last year, as I told you all before, many companies give up to sponsor the
CCC by budget cut due to the economic and political crisis in Brazil. We tried
until the last time to do that but the situation was really unsustainable to
realize the event due to lack of sponsors. We confirmed March 20-21 with the
venue but I agree the @Will arguments about the insufficient time until the
dates proposed and for these dates are very close to the ApacheCon NA.
We are working very close to the University and the community members to
bring the CCC in Brazil. Our country is quite lacking in CCC level events and
it will be a differential for many IT people. I personally admire a lot of you
from this community and I see a huge differential compared to the others. As
one old saying goes, "It's better quality than quantity," and that's exactly
what I see in each of you. I have taken this message in several places that
have visited and shown the honesty of the Apache CloudStack project for
businesses and users. From my side, I will do my best to get the CCC in Brazil
and didn't disappoint you. The Brazilian market already shows improvements and
I feel that we will have sponsors to really make an incredible CCC.
IMHO, following Will's thoughts and considering the Mike’s recommendation,
September is the month most recommended for the CCC.
Considering September the CCC date, we have from our side these tasks:
1- Put the website up
2- Open the CFP
3- Advertise to the community
4- Define the minimum and maximum event size based on budget from sponsors
5- Documents needed to visa (when applied)
6- Hotels around the venue and discounts
Please, yours comments are very appreciated!
Best regards,
Marco Sinhoreli
