Hello all, I am sharing 2 upcoming events, which are quite big an interesting and I think it worths for pour community to exhibit and to be presented there: FOSDEM: Fosdem 2023 is on 4-5 February in Brussels. It would be great if we can get a stand for Apache CloudStack and some of the community to attend and hang out at the stand. I’m happy to do the application for a stand but first wanted to see who may be able to come along and help out? The CFP to propose Developer Rooms is also open – my thinking is that we don’t try to submit a developer room (as they’re limited in number) but instead wait to see what others submit – hopefully there will be a devroom on IaaS or virtualisation where CloudStack talks could sit. https://fosdem.org/2023/
FOSDEM seems like a good event, but I always have mixed feelings this being on saturday and sunday. That makes it more difficult for people to join this event.
That said I would be willing to do a talk, I can drive there and back easily in one day :-)
CloudFest: Cloudfest is on 21-23 March and will happen in Europa Park, Germany. It is the biggest get together in EU for cloud, hosting and MSP providers and usually collects 3000-4000 people. Although in Europe, it is visited from big companies from USA also.My idea for there is to be presented with a booth for which we will need people to help to be presented there and talk with attendees + some financial support from the community. The smallest booth is 12 000 EUR and I will try to discount it a bit, but we will need some help from companies from the community. The main target is to attract new users of CloudStack from the cloud industry + to engage more developers to contribute to the project. For companies yes which want to sponsor the booth, this will be a great visibility of their success stories of using CloudStack or building services on top of it. https://www.cloudfest.com/
I think that this would be a good event to be present at. In the past Citrix was here with their CloudPlatform product.
The EUR 12k is a high fee and we might struggle to get this funding together, but I do think we fit in here.
