CloudStack Collaboration Conference - Marketing Plan?
Hi all,
While most of the event planning work is being done off-list for the
upcoming conference, one area that I believe would be great to see the
marketing@ community help out with is in coming up with a good marketing
plan for the conference. We're actually (IMO) quite late in both
announcing the conference and in promoting it, however I think there's
still time to make an impact.
So my first question is: has anyone already come up with a comprehensive
marketing plan to promote attendance at the conference?
And the follow up: If the answer above is no, then does anyone want to
start that up and see if we can get the word out even more broadly?

I've been working on promoting the event to those people that we have dealt with at Citrix as well as others who have shown interest in CloudStack in the past.
However, due to some recent feedback on Citrix presence being too overbearing for CCC I stepped back.
I'd be glad to put together a plan and help do the work but frankly I'd be glad to leave the door open for someone else who wants to.
Either way we should get moving quickly.
Regards, Mark

Karen,
Should I use the one that's posted here?
http://www.cloudstackcollab.org/publicize/
I'll add it to our website tomorrow if that's the one.

*Done. I've posted this to the following groups in the discussions section, or as a 'perk' and asked organizers to send out an announcement.
Cloud Slam - posted in discussions
San Francisco Cloud Mafia - posted to discussions, perks
San Francisco Cloud Computing Group - posted to discussions, perks
Bay area cloud storage -posted to discussions
The Cloud Club -asked organizer to send out the announcement
Open Source Cloud Meetup -asked organizer to send out the announcement
Cloud DC - asked organizer to send out the announcement

What we need is people talking about it with the #hashtag. That will generate more buzz. So if people can get more talk with both #cloudstack and #ccc13 that would help. Got to start chatting it up.
*Mark has just secured Gene Kim, the author of "The Phoenix Project: A Novel About IT, DevOps, and Helping Your Business Win" to be a keynote speaker for the CCC13. He will be doing book signings during the breaks on Day 1 of the conference as well. That's definitely something that we can start talking about on twitter! Joe can you create a tweet about this on the Apache CloudStack twitter account? Here is the direct link to the page that provides more info about Gene Kim as a keynote speaker for the CCC13: http://www.cloudstackcollab.org/keynote1/

I think it definitely needs to be about once a week, but you have to keep it fresh and updated. Can't just be the same old same spam every time. I can take this one.
*You can probably talk about Gene Kim as a keynote speaker and Chip Childers will be doing a keynote on Day 1 as well.

Blogs
-Once the program is announced, we will start seeing a lot of blog posts from the companies of speakers that have a talk accepted. I noticed that during the last CCC. I'll write a blog post on buildacloud.org and I have about five folks in mind who I can ask to write a blog post for their sites.
Event Sections on Websites
-I've posted the CCC13 on about 10 different open source event websites.
Invitation postcards
Sent 50 to Kelly Hair and 50 to Ilya M.
Sent 50 to Sebastien Stadil at Scalr
Sent 400 to CloudCon Expo SF as conference bag inserts
Sent 800 to LinuxCon Japan / CloudOpen as conference bag inserts
Media Alert
- We could send out a media alert to the press list that was used for the ACS graduation press release. In the media alert we could offer the members of the press an opportunity to speak to some of the members of the project
- List who would be available from the Apache CloudStack project for interviews June 23rd-25th.
- Include some info who will be the keynote speakers, companies that are participating, etc.
- I think this should be sent after the program is announced (June 1st) on June 2nd.
- I could help schedule the interviews between the press and ACS members.
Best regards,
Karen

Once a week might be too much, but then again we are not that far

Not sure if that's "legal", but somebody can certainly try! I'd add a
"Conferences" section, and then link to both the 2012 one and this
one. You'll need to cite the announcements probably.

Hi Chip,
Here is what I propose, part of this may have already been done.
MeetUp:
Reach out to CloudStack Groups and sent a note - I've seen this has been done by Karen for NYC, perhaps there is more groups she has not reached out yet
Reach out to Other User Groups that CloudStack has been presented on in 2012/2013 and ask presenters to send a message to user group organizers about CCC13 so they can share with a group members
LinkedIn:
Everyone in linkedin must update their personal status - as going to CCC13
Send a note on LinkedIn CloudStack and Cloud groups about CCC13
Twitter:
Tweet and ask for retweets
Mailing List:
Already done, but I would send a notice once a week so that new comers can read and perhaps attend
CloudStack.org:
Needs to have a large banner about CCC13 on the main page
Wikipedia:
Needs to have a link and notice to CCC13
Facebook:
The main image with 2 screens needs to have CCC13 notice
If you think of more let me know, lets divide and conquer.
Regards
ilya
