I think one of the most effective things we can do from a marketing standpoint is to give talks at industry conferences on CloudStack. In my experience user stories have a good chance of being chosen but project talks are popular too. So if you are so inclined it would be great to see more talks on CloudStack at upcoming industry events. If you have an event you think we should try to speak at share it with everyone hopefully people are planning on attending any how and we can drive awareness through these talks. Here are some upcoming calls for papers around some Cloud Computing and Open Source events. If you have the ambition it would be a good to have talks at but feel would love to see other suggestions. Also ApacheCon's are a no-brainer there just aren't any open CFPs right now.
