[openstack-community] OpenStack Days East Looking for Sponsors & Leads! [2]

28 Feb '17

Dear OpenStack Sponsors and Supporters, Thanks go to the companies who have shown an interest in sponsoring the upcoming OpenStack Days <https://www.openstack.org/community/events/openstackdays/> East 2017 conference. As you may have heard, we are excited to announce that OpenStack Days <https://www.openstack.org/community/events/openstackdays/> East 2017 will be in the city of Washington, DC, with tentative dates in mid to late August, 2017. The two day event will have a focus on the Government sector, amongst many others, such as containerization, DevOps practices, provisioning, orchestration and more. *We have found a promising venue, and an event planner for this conference but the next hurdle is to find companies that are willing to directly pay for the deposits for both the venue and the event planner, and to co-lead the effort with the current volunteers. This would be happening while the sponsorship money is coming in. If you are interested please contact us immediately via email, and fill out this form <https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdwu6FpGIQ6zis-F99E_oWMdWJ8olXKyp5…>. Without this crucial step it is unlikely for the conference to proceed.* OpenStackDC <https://www.meetup.com/OpenStackDC/>, OpenStack-Northern Virginia <https://www.meetup.com/OpenStack-Nova/>, OpenStack-Baltimore <https://www.meetup.com/OpenStack-Baltimore/>, VA OpenStack Users <https://www.linkedin.com/groups/4762393/>, and several other east coast OpenStack groups will be organizing the OpenStack Days East 2017 event. In order to proceed in earnest, with the planning, we are soliciting a tentative sponsorship commitment from your company for this event. Last year’s sponsorship costs can be found here <https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B28O7k5mIZSiODN6enZROU1EV1lBeE91ekNmbmIxT…>, which may differ in 2017. All sponsorship levels are currently available for 2017. If your company is interested in sponsoring this conference, please fill out this form <https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdwu6FpGIQ6zis-F99E_oWMdWJ8olXKyp5…> . As you know OpenStack Days East <http://www.openstackeast.com/>, in NYC <http://www.openstackeast.com/location/> last year, was a resounding success. Some of the companies that sponsored the 2016 event were HP Enterprise, Red Hat, SUSE, Canonical, Dell, and IBM. The full list of 2016 sponsors can be found here <http://www.openstackeast.com/sponsors/>. We look forward to hearing back from you soon. Thank you very much in advance.

Hi all, If you run OpenStack, please take a few minutes to respond to the latest User Survey or pass it along to your friends. This is the ninth survey, but if you're new what you can expect are: * a few basic questions—how and why do you work with OpenStack, what do you like about it, and where can we improve? (5-10mins) * a more detailed set of questions that helps us understand your cloud so we can provide feedback to development teams (10mins) The deadline to fill out the survey is February 20 at 23:59 UTC. Start the survey now: https://www.openstack.org/user-survey If you answered the survey last time, you won't need to start from scratch. Just log back in to update your deployment profile.

We’ll share the survey findings first with those who fill out the user survey, and with the community at next OpenStack Summit, May 8-11 in Boston https://www.openstack.org/summit/boston-2017/ Thanks! -Tom
