Hi all, A few updates here: - I will go and book us a booth for the CloudFest, Hope I can use the logo of Apache CloudStack on it. We will be also looking for volunteers to join us at the booth. - I did not manage to get a lot of feedback for the Fosdem, so I am proceeding with applying for a table for the CloudStack project there. Again, I am looking for volunteers to present the project there. + we will have some nice swags after the CCC to bring. It will be great to get some visibility for CloudStack there.
If anybody has comments or ideas or want to volunteer, pls write to this thread.

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.
