[OpenStack Marketing] OpenStack Day Budapest event, June 6
by Marton Kiss 21 Jan '16

21 Jan '16

To continue the tradition this year the 4th OpenStack Day event will be held in Budapest. This time we had chosen the Castle Garden Bazaar at the foot of the Buda Castle as a venue. OpenStack Day is a non-profit community event organized by ecosystem players and supported by the OpenStack Foundation. The conference features keynotes and panel talk in the morning. In the afternoon we present a range of deep-dive technology tracks and workshops. We also plan to host an Upstream training to win new developers and contributors for the OpenStack ecosystem. We are looking for sponsors to make the event happen and to keep the same high quality of the event, just like in the previous years. The event sponsorship catalogue is already available on the website, feel free to contact me if you have questions. We hope to see you there! Thank you. Brgds, Marton Kiss OpenStack Ambassador

[OpenStack Marketing] Summit sponsorship idea
by Adam Lawson 20 Jan '16

20 Jan '16

Howdy all, Would there be any interest in offering summit sponsors the ability to place a branded entertainment activity in one of the lounges? I was thinking of renting a pool table since I'm a billiards guy and since it obviously wouldn't fit in our booth, I wondered about putting it in one of the lounges so folks can unwind. A) Would that be possible? B) Perhaps this be something worth considering for upcoming summits? I can envision paying to have a branded lounge amenity like a pool table, arcade machine, pinball machine (ok that's loud) or something else. Has anyone considered this? //adam *Adam Lawson* AQORN, Inc. 427 North Tatnall Street Ste. 58461 Wilmington, Delaware 19801-2230 Toll-free: (844) 4-AQORN-NOW ext. 101 International: +1 302-387-4660 Direct: +1 916-246-2072
