Great news!
The reason I suggested the weekend of the 30th/31st March is because I'll
be in Bangalore then. I have lots of experience of helping run smaller
events, but don't know much about the Bangalore open source scene, so the
help of people like you will be invaluable!
Let me know what needs to be done for organizing this.
I think the first question is what sort of event do we think will work
best in Bangalore, given the limited time until the event with which to
get the word out. One option might be a BarCamp (un-conference style event
with lots of ~30 minute talks), another is to host a hackathon day (where
we get people together to code, bug fix, test and document), or finally we
could perhaps do a hybrid (eg talks in the morning, coding in the
afternoon)
Do you (or anyone else here!) have any thoughts on what might work best?
Also since I already organized a CloudStack User Meet up on Feb 5, 2013
in Bangalore , I am in touch with quite a number of cloudstack
enthusiasts who attended the user meet up live at the Citrix office here
and were willing to contribute. A lot many of them were beginners
though , so the only question arises is what level and kind of hackathon
would these cloudstackers be interested in .
Great, sounds like we can be sure of quite a bit of cloudstack material at
the event! Any other projects strongly present in Bangalore?
