[openstack-community] Sept 19 Sponsorship Deadline - OpenStack Summit
by Shari Mahrdt 11 Sep '14

11 Sep '14

Hi everyone, As you know we’re very excited to bring the OpenStack Summit to Europe for the first time! The Summit will take place in Paris, November 3-7, at the Palais des Congrès. The event will draw thousands of participants from around the world. The most recent installment of the twice-annual Summit was held in May, in Atlanta, Georgia, and drew more than 4,500 users, developers and CIOs from service providers, major telcos and enterprises. A video recap of the Atlanta summit and session videos and slides demonstrate the depth of user engagement and energy surrounding the community. The OpenStack community is global, and Europe is one of the strongest user and industry ecosystems. Paris has one of the most active local user groups, and the city is home to an established OpenStack event series that has brought together cloud computing pioneers. Across Europe, government interest in open source and cloud is growing, and OpenStack has seen strong telco and carrier adoption across the continent partially driven by data sovereignty issues. Summit links: Register to attend - hurry, prices increase on October 2. Discounted Hotel Rooms - stay in one of the convenient, official event hotels. Sponsor the Summit - join this list of current Summit sponsor companies. Official Summit Schedule - check out the selected breakout sessions. Stay tuned for updates with keynote and sponsor content soon. Having a presence at the OpenStack Summit is a great way to engage with the OpenStack community. There are seven available levels of Summit sponsorship and many add-on opportunities. We encourage you to review the Sponsorship Prospectus. September 19 is the deadline to sign sponsorship contracts - so please act quickly. In order to sponsor the Summit you will need to complete two electronic contracts: 1) The Master Sponsorship Agreement 2) The OpenStack Paris Summit Sponsorship Agreement If you have any sponsorship questions, please watch the recording of the sponsor overview webinar or email events(a)openstack.org. We look forward to hopefully hosting you in Paris this November! Cheers, Shari Shari Mahrdt OpenStack Marketing shari(a)openstack.org

The DefCore project is moving forward and needs more and more eyes on it. The next meetings are on Sept 9 and 10, with the same agenda to facilitate global access. I'm sharing the details below.

[openstack-community] Onboarding interested contributors to Openstack
by Adam Lawson 27 Aug '14

27 Aug '14

I have an idea and hoping to get some thoughts on whether it's a good or bad idea. Something I've been hearing the last couple summits is folks who have seen the light and want to get involved with the project is that they don't know where to go, where to start since the amount of information covered in the docs and projects they cover can be pretty overwhelming. Especially for the first time. One of the ways I've seen complexity successfully navigated for newcomers is through a sort of guide/mentor program where someone hears what the newcomer determines the interest level, what they want to do, advises them where the greatest need currently is in that area, makes the necessary introductions and basically guides them through the process until they are in a project. Is there plans that accommodate interested people to get onboard with a sort of guided assist or mentor? If not per se, would there be any interest in it? Maybe not as its own program but as a Community sub-program that amounts to a welcoming committee. Is this something that resonates with anyone or is it already being done somewhere? Sort of like a "Start Here" for the new folks. *Adam Lawson* AQORN, Inc. 427 North Tatnall Street Ste. 58461 Wilmington, Delaware 19801-2230 Toll-free: (844) 4-AQORN-NOW ext. 101 International: +1 302-387-4660 Direct: +1 916-246-2072

We're considering a good sized sponsorship with an OpenStack Day (for fee program targeting 150-200 attendees) and Ecosystem Pavilion at [ Connect 2015 ]( http://www.con-nect.com.au/index.html ). In our opinion, this is the best enterprise-focused B2B event in the A/NZ region. We have 5-6 members interested in joining so far. Each participating company will be a Silver sponsor, have a session on OpenStack Day, a presence in the well-placed pavilion and more. Please contact me at [ kathyc(a)openstack.org ]( mailto:kathyc@openstak.org ) by September 5 with your pre-commitment interest. Cost will be approximately 8,000 AUD/$7500 USD - less with more ecosystem members. We are required to book it by September 10. Thank you! -- Regards, Kathy Cacciatore Consulting Marketing Manager OpenStack Foundation 1-512-970-2807 (mobile) Part time: Monday - Thursday, 9am - 2pm US CT kathyc(a)openstack.org

[openstack-community] Official Paris Summit Schedule is Live
by Shari Mahrdt 27 Aug '14

27 Aug '14

The official OpenStack Summit Schedule is available here. We received an incredible 1,100+ submissions for the Paris Summit, and had to make some tough decisions for the schedule. The final sessions were chosen last week and everyone who submitted a proposal was notified on Friday - August 22, 2014. All accepted and alternate speakers received free codes to register to the Summit. Email notifications were sent from events(a)openstack.org or speakermanager(a)fntech.com. Please let us know if there is anyone who has submitted a session but hasn't received a notification from one of these emails. There is also the opportunity to present a Tech Talk in the #vbrownbag room. The TechTalks offer a forum for community members to give ten minute presentations. They have a small in-person audience and will be video recorded and published to YouTube. To participate, just fill out the submission form here. Please remember that the last day to purchase Summit passes at the Early Bird rate is this Thursday - August 27, 2014. We look forward to seeing you all in Paris! Cheers, Shari Shari Mahrdt OpenStack Marketing shari(a)openstack.org
