Open Stack

Hello everyone,

We just concluded the lottery drawing for the 4 Headline sponsorship slots for the October 2015 OpenStack Summit in Tokyo. 

The 4 Headline sponsors for the Tokyo Summit are:
- Rackspace
- NEC
- IBM
- Intel

For the three companies that did not secure the Headline sponsor slots today, you have until 5:00pm CDT tomorrow to re-sign contracts to secure the top Premier level sponsorship slots for the Tokyo Summit. 

Also, you will have an additional chance to win the Headline sponsor lottery for the following summit if you choose to apply, which is scheduled for April 2016 in Austin. Specifically, we plan to add an additional ball to the lottery drawing for the three companies that were not selected in the Tokyo summit drawing today - if they follow the contract process and sign contracts for a Headline slot for the Austin Summit. 

For all sponsors - confirmation emails will be emailed out within 48 hours after you sign the Tokyo Summit contract. Thank you for your patience!

Cheers,
Claire

The three companies that are not drawn will have the opportunity to resign the sponsorship contract for the Premier level and will become the top companies in line for that level of sponsorship.

> Headline level sponsorship will also be confirmed on a first-come, first-serve basis if there are four (4) or fewer contracts submitted within the first hour of the executable agreement becoming available. In order to create a fair and level playing field, if more than four (4) companies submit signed contracts within the first hour (between 22:00-23:00 UTC / 3:00pm-4:00pm PDT) for a Headline sponsorship level, the Foundation staff will conduct a lottery to draw the four (4) official Headline sponsors. The remaining companies that do not secure the Headline sponsorship via lottery will be given the opportunity to re-sign contracts and obtain Premier level sponsorship slots in the order they submitted Headline agreements. The lottery is only applicable to the Headline sponsorship level.

> Confirmation for ALL Sponsorship Levels:
> In recognition of the ongoing support of companies that are Sponsors or Members <http://www.openstack.org/foundation/companies/> of the OpenStack Foundation, their contracts will be confirmed first, for the initial 24 hours after the executable October 2015 OpenStack Summit contract goes live. All other contracts will be processed starting 24 hours later starting on June 18, 2015 after 3:00pm PT.. From that point forward all sponsorships will be confirmed on a first-come, first-serve basis determined by the timestamp on completed agreements.
