[openstack-community] OpenStack Day Question

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 :-)
