Top posting, a reminder that we have a wiki page listing a lot of events with cloudstack presence:
https://cwiki.apache.org/CLOUDSTACK/draft-cloudstack-community-events-plan.html Everyone should feel free to edit and had their events. I just would like to point out that there are at least three type of events: -Open Source Conferences --in Europe: FOSDEM, Linuxcon Europe, Apache Con europe, Linux Tag (Germany), RMLL (french), Open World Forum. -Industry Expos -Academic research conference --more along the lines of what Chiradeep has sent. The biggest issue here is that CFP are usually 6 months ahead and some of them require 8 to 10 pages of actual study. To that you can add meet ups: -Linux User Groups -Java User Groups. I have had good "success" going to JUGs. Someone needs to be the champion of a particular conference and drive the presence, even if only a talk. Add the conf to the wiki, add it on Lanyards etc... -Sebastien On Mar 27, 2013, at 4:12 PM, "Musayev, Ilya" <[email protected]> wrote: > Lets do it.. > >> -----Original Message----- >> From: David Nalley [mailto:[email protected]] >> Sent: Wednesday, March 27, 2013 4:10 PM >> To: [email protected] >> Cc: Swenson, Christopher >> Subject: Re: Upcoming Call For Papers Cloud and Open Source Conferences >> >> On Wed, Mar 27, 2013 at 2:53 PM, Musayev, Ilya <[email protected]> >> wrote: >>> Mark, >>> >>> I can definitely repurpose the demo I'm about to do on april 10th @ NYC >> CloudStack MeetUp. >>> >>> My use case however is tailored mostly to VMWare, ASC4.1/ACS4.1 (if >> released by then) in traditional corporate infrastructure - that is willing >> to go >> cloud - but realizes that it wont happen overnight.
