We held the first-ever #MesosCon <http://events.linuxfoundation.org/events/mesoscon> in Chicago this past August, attracting a crowd of 262 attendees from over 100 companies. Thanks again to all who attended, watched session videos <http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLDVc2EaAVPg9kp8cFzjR1Yxj96I4U5EGN> online, and the great team of volunteers that helped to make the event happen.
Given where the Apache project stands today and its huge growth trajectory in the coming year, it's time to begin planning our next conference! I think it's safe to say that the next MesosCon will be even larger, learn from the last conference, and require even more effort to pull off. We need your help. I'm happy to help kickoff and lead this effort, and looking to recruit potential sponsors and program committee members: * *Sponsors:* we had generous sponsors this first MesosCon, and we'd like to grow the number of sponsors and sponsorship levels for the next MesosCon. Is your company a possible sponsor? Reach out to us early to give feedback as we consider what these levels may be. * *Program committee members:* we had volunteers on the PC from various companies and backgrounds who attended regular phone meetings and assisted both with the program and recruiting sponsors. If you're interested in either opportunity, please reach out to me personally (dles...@twitter.com). Other details including a conference date and location have yet to be decided, but should be decided shortly. Thanks, Dave
