Hi everyone, Due to high demand for Berlin Summit sponsorships, we have decided to open sales early. Starting Thursday, February 1 at 11:00am Central Time (17:00 UTC), the sponsorship contract for the OpenStack Summit in Berlin, November 13-15 <http://www.openstack.org/summit/berlin-2018/>, will be live. Check out the sponsorship prospectus here <https://www.openstack.org/assets/berlin-summit/prospectus/Berlin-Sponsor-Prospectus-0125.pdf>. Germany is a very strong market for OpenStack and we’re very excited to bring the Summit to Berlin later this year! In the November 2017 OpenStack User Survey report, Germany was was third in terms of where survey respondents were located, and at our last Summit more than 65% of attendees indicated they were CEO/CIOs, IT Managers, Cloud Architects or OpenStack users. What’s new? The Summit has evolved over the years to cover more than just OpenStack, and we’re making an even larger effort to attract speakers and attendees across the open infrastructure ecosystem. In addition to OpenStack-related sessions, we feature the newest project at the Foundation, Kata Containers, as well as many others like Ansible, Ceph, Kubernetes, ONAP and more. Featured topics include: CI / CD Container Infrastructure Edge Computing HPC / GPU / AI Open Source Community Private & Hybrid Cloud Public Cloud Telecom & NFV In addition, Vancouver Summit <http://www.openstack.org/summit/vancouver-2018/> and Dublin Project Teams Gathering <http://www.openstack.org/ptg> sponsorship sales are live. Deadline for Project Teams Gathering sponsorships is February 8 and only a limited number of sponsorships are still available. Please let me know if you have any questions! Cheers, Kendall Kendall Waters OpenStack Marketing kendall@openstack.org
