The idea, several.topic in one day, rather one serial series
there are a lot of events organized around the world about OpenStack but only a few of them are organized by the OpenStack Foundation. What usually happens is that a set of people/organizations decide to dedicate one day or more for an OpenStack-related conference or meeting. The European OpenStack days mentioned by Marton are one example, the ones in Israel are another, OpenStack Tokio Day etc. The OpenStack Foundation can support such events in different ways. If you and others in Indonesia want to organize a conference about OpenStack all you have to do is to get started with a proposal for the conference itself (will it be aimed at university students? local government? businesses?), then think about a venue and dates and issue a call for speakers. You may want to talk to your nearest Ambassador(s) [in your case they may be Kavit Munshi, Ye Lu, Akira Yoshiyama and Akihiro Hasegawa as they have other suggestions based on their experience]. You may also want to get some support from local sponsors since that will help the Foundation decide how to support it, if a sponsorship is needed, etc. This suggestion is valid also for other groups around the world: if you want to organize events for OpenStack talk to your nearest Ambassador and pick their brain for ideas: http://www.openstack.org/blog/2013/11/announcing-our-first-openstack-ambassa...
