Ilya, Maybe we can get Joe or David to submit a talk and you could help them with a real world example from your experience maybe as a joint talk since you aren't used to the speaking circuit. Having the case study angle to cement the project overview helps a lot. The real world example always trumps the theoretical IMHO. The more people that are presenting on CloudStack the better for us to take advantage of all these events.
I have spoken at Cloud Expo East and West a number of times and have worked with the promoters so if we get a good talk submission I can help guide it through the process. Believe me if I can give a talk at a conference anyone can :) Regards, Mark On Mar 27, 2013, at 11:55 AM, "Musayev, Ilya" <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Mark, > > We definitely need presence on Cloud Expo in NYC, it is attended by thousands > and beats any meetup event.
