OpenStack Events 2018 Sponsorship Opportunities The 2018 OpenStack Foundation events portfolio <https://www.openstack.org/assets/events/2018EventPortfolio-1127.pdf> is now live, including sponsorship opportunities for both Summits, PTGs and OpenDev! As we’re adding more events, we’re also improving the sponsorship packages, including lowering the cost of headline or premier sponsorship of the Summit. These changes are designed to make it easier for our established sponsors to participate in new activities and help us grow the open infrastructure landscape in 2018. You can also expect to see exciting new projects and tracks at our events, covering areas such as container infrastructure, edge computing, CI/CD and machine learning. Stay tuned!
