Our OpenStack Northwest User Group http://www.meetup.com/OpenStack-Northwest is getting very popular very quickly. About 60 stackers attended last meetup in Portland where presenters from DetaCloud, DreamHost, SwiftStack and EMC focused on OpenStack storage.

Next meetup is scheduled for Feb 5 and the focus this time is on networking. We are looking for speakers who can discuss SDN, Neutron, OVS, ML2, OpenFlow, Nicira, etc.

Please find me on Twitter @alkari if you are developing or implementing any of these technologies and like to present them to our user group, hopefully you are in Portland on that date (or if you’d like to visit Portland – the snow is awesome on Mt. Hood if you’re into that).

Join us if you’re in town Feb 5^th.
