Whilst we're on this subject, I thought I would chime in with this:

This will be the second year that we've co-located Cloudstack Collaboration 
Conference with Apachecon. Last year (Miami) was really successful: great 
agenda, great talks, really well organised. However, our attendance was down 
compared with all previous CloudStack Collaboration Conferences.

IMO, this was down to the fact that, previously, we had always promoted CCC from within 
the community as it was "our" event. However, last year, I think we all sat 
back a little and expected Apachecon folks to do that.

A lot of work has gone in to putting a great agenda together again 
(http://ca.cloudstackcollab.org/#schedule)


I see  that many people on this list will already be coming (or considering 
coming)  either specifically for Cloudstack collab or to attend the broader 
apachecon talks,  but it would be really great if we can get the attendance up 
from last year.

So, if everybody could help us a little, it would be very much apprecited

Some specific call outs:
1. please share on social media (look for @cloudstack @ApacheCon). Share your 
talk, share others talk, share the conference generally
2. If you're in this community, please make every effort to try and come. These 
conferences really are great for ideas, sharing problems, learning, working 
together, etc
3. Bring others: if you're coming, bring a colleague, bring a customer, bring a 
partner (Montreal is a great City)



Thanks, Giles, this is absolutely the right approach. Communities 
promoting their own talks is always MUCH more effective than the general 
top-level promotion.


Also, give some thought to what your community wants to work on during 
the Hackathon, and look for the Hackathon signup doc (real soon - I just 
haven't got to it yet) as a way to promote the event to new contributors 
who want to come work with mentors.

Re: Cloudstack Collab Canada anyone?

1) Work on the website and docs to make Cloudstack look more attractive 
for people looking for a cloud orchestration solution.

- clear description of what it does
- clearly identify target environments - company datacentres, cloud 
service providers, software development teams, etc.
- clear identification of benefits for each target as opposed to other 
solutions

- add customer testimonials from each of the target markets.

2) cleanup roadmap, remove wrong and contradictory information

3) use social media to direct people to the new information.


The team has done a great job in getting a strong presence in the 
presentations


4) put out a regular stream of messaging about each of the presentations 
in social media.
There are some local Montreal groups on social media. I will try to add 
to the list.

- https://twitter.com/technomontreal?lang=en
- https://www.linkedin.com/company/technomontr%C3%A9al/?originalSubdomain=ca
- https://www.meetup.com/cities/ca/qc/montr%C3%A9al/tech/

Perhaps we should develop a list of "important" social media venues and 
regularly share important news on them.
