there are new bundle event from Intel with Redhat regarding Swift

and an offer from ceph to bundle also. still in progress

right now, i am bring them to the OpenStack Day, because I want to make them as speaker, sponsor.

but several love to have their own event, rather collaborate with OpenStack User Group

right now we are discussion content with Quanta, Inspur, Canonical, HP regrading topic, but I think only Quanta, inspur, canonical .. HP , Dell still dont know, how to step in this cloud movement .

Hi Frans,

We used to organise a yearly one-day event, called OpenStack CEE Day in Central Europe. The budget calculation really depends on you. If you know that visitors can afford a ticket, and you don't want to create a free event, you can share the costs between sponsors and attendees. So as I remember we had the following spendings for the event: - venue rental - wifi access - food / cafe - utilities: laptops / desks / projectors - badges - optionally vip room for speakers or a press room with drinks and snacks - promotion / marketing - rollup banners, etc.

The hardest thing is to estimate how much people can attend the event, and how much ticket you can give away (or sell). We applied a minimal fee for the tickets, because it is a Central European cultural behaviour if you pay for something, it have a higher chance to visit the event.

Good day Frans & folks. :) Great seeing helpful collaboration here. Agree with items below, regarding starting out small for first event, establishing multi-sector channels, having focused agendas for it, and joining up with other places. Although, admittedly, it might be difficult to have a pick on the focus areas to promote to get our conference going and to establish channels is not cheap. Thinking about it, you did mention you are aware of what HP, Canonical, RedHat, and etc are doing, especially with your fears that OSUGs are either friend or foe to these organisations and its efforts. Really hope you find ways to *itemise on your OSUG objectives and prioritise*: is it to promote OpenStack in general? To build awareness of OSUG itself? To build competencies? To find talent and contributors in the community who can help write code for OpenStack? To generate clarity around OpenStack in relation to OpenStack-powered solutions from vendors and from public cloud offerings? Generate leads for some of your sponsors? If your goals line up with the known objectives of vendors doing their own events, great! You have common ground. Otherwise, do continue with finding gaps in the event lineup of said companies. *I am sure you will find ways to bring practical knowledge to your community (big or small)*. Installing and configuring and configuration/version management alone of various moving projects in the OpenStack line alone is still a big headache especially pre-Grizzly. Add in some business perspectives in the discussions since this is a critical component in any technical discussion, as much as we may want to separate them.. I am guilty of this in the past (well, until now once in a while :P) of *user group envy* or *other companies' event reception envy* *elsewhere* (*Our team hails from Philippines who have started migrating some operations and presence in Hong Kong and Singapore*). I used to get distracted when bigger, nicer, better resourced, and more mature markets and geographies gain such better traction in such initiatives. I realise companies also target markets appropriately, which in turn provide more trickles in sponsorship and marketing funds. Talent ecosystem (not just one or two or three people or companies and groups) is critical to these companies also. But at the end of the day, if you objectives and set expectations reasonably, whether 5 people come or 100 come, it is ok. You can't please everyone. I personally prefer to find a few good chats here and there than a whole lot of people just complaining about the food you serve. :D *Admire what you are doing. Carry on.

Frans, what you think about focusing regional, Vietnam, Singapore is not so far away? Join your forces and try to target them also. Let's try to raise the number of reachable visitors, as Japan did a one-day event with 1100 attendees, I guess 3-400 is a nice number for first time. You need to make channels to startups / government / enterprise / universities. And I suggest to start cross-promote the user group for example, in python, php, other cloud areas.

Regarding the format, first time we did a single main track for the first part of the event, and separated that into two parallel afternoon tracks. For the second one we added a so called "workshop" room as an experiment, and asked people to feel free to bring their notebooks, and join into practical sessions. It is very important to bring in interesting topics and key speakers, well-known in ecosystem.

in 2015, South East Asia will become one region like European Union I try to make contact with Asia OpenStack Leader, I think I also propose to make this mailing list exist, and thx to the prior openstack community manager for make this happen I chat a lot of OSUG leader about relationship, accidently I stayed one room with OpenStack vietnam, Nguyen Tien, talking about this. I love to collaborate and make the event regional based. so I throw again this hot ball :) after waiting 5 years, I think next year is good year, OpenStack UG Indonesia founded around 2009, 1 year before foundation born..

Frans, what you think about focusing regional, Vietnam, Singapore is not so far away? Join your forces and try to target them also. Let's try to raise the number of reachable visitors, as Japan did a one-day event with 1100 attendees, I guess 3-400 is a nice number for first time. You need to make channels to startups / government / enterprise / universities. And I suggest to start cross-promote the user group for example, in python, php, other cloud areas.

Regarding the format, first time we did a single main track for the first part of the event, and separated that into two parallel afternoon tracks. For the second one we added a so called "workshop" room as an experiment, and asked people to feel free to bring their notebooks, and join into practical sessions. It is very important to bring in interesting topics and key speakers, well-known in ecosystem.

I think key to your query is the number of people helping in the organization of the event. Without volunteers and peers, it would be difficult to pull off multi-organ events. If it's the first event, I would suggest making it simple but with a focused agenda and highly targeted audience. That I believe is key on building the community.

My 2 cents :-)

Hi Frans,

We used to organise a yearly one-day event, called OpenStack CEE Day in Central Europe. The budget calculation really depends on you. If you know that visitors can afford a ticket, and you don't want to create a free event, you can share the costs between sponsors and attendees. So as I remember we had the following spendings for the event: - venue rental - wifi access - food / cafe - utilities: laptops / desks / projectors - badges - optionally vip room for speakers or a press room with drinks and snacks - promotion / marketing - rollup banners, etc.

The hardest thing is to estimate how much people can attend the event, and how much ticket you can give away (or sell). We applied a minimal fee for the tickets, because it is a Central European cultural behaviour if you pay for something, it have a higher chance to visit the event.

Cheers, Marton
