Ivet - thanks for looking in to these. I think that CloudStack should definitely be represented at some of these events
I'd like to offer ShapeBlue to provide sponsorship/funding to get Cloudstack a booth at Cloudfest Op 03-10-2022 om 09:35 schreef Ivet Petrova: > 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.

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.

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.
