[OPEN PLANNING MEETINGS] CloudStack Days 2015

Hi all,
The Linux Foundation will be helping the Apache CloudStack community with the logistics for CloudStack Days 2015. There will be CloudStack Days Planning meetings held every other Tuesday beginning on Tuesday, March 10th, 2015 9:00am - 9:40am Pacific.
Open to the community - the planning calls are open to the community. Feel free to share your feedback, ideas and suggestions on these calls. If you would like to join, please send me a note and I will send you the meeting invitation.
CFP Committee - if you are an Apache CloudStack committer and would like to volunteer to help review and vote on proposals for a specific CloudStack Day, please reach out to Sebastien Goasguen and David Nalley (cc'd). The CFP for CloudStack Days Austin will open next week.
Sponsors - Cloud Foundry has signed up to sponsor all five CloudStack Days. Thank you! There are several other companies that are currently considering. Sponsorship prospectus can be found here: http://events.linuxfoundation.org/events/cloudstack-seattle/sponsor
Registration - CloudStack Days 2015 is free to attend.
Bi-monthly updates - I will be sending bi-monthly updates from the CloudStack Days planning calls to the CloudStack marketing list.

Thanks Karen. This is a very important point. While Citrix is the main backer making planning these events possible. It is important that everyone feels welcome to help organize them. We need everyone support to keep making our conferences big successes and draw more people to our awesome project.

So folks reading this, join in, help plan and help find sponsors.

What Karen said is accurate. I realize the websites currently say 'plenary
sessions in the morning and user/developer breakouts in the afternoon'
which needs to be updated. We have a plenary room and smaller hackathon
room available at each event (though the hackathon room could technically
be a breakout room).

Subject: RE: [OPEN PLANNING MEETINGS] CloudStack Days 2015

Hi Karen et al
Its great to see this progressing
I'm sure some of these things will get covered off in the planning meetings, but these are a random set of thoughts/questions from me:


1.       I fully support this new format, as I feel it allows us to reach a much broader audience,  but I think they are going to be quite different events to CCC - more about attracting new people than the "existing" community getting together.

2.        does mean that the  existing   community people (i.e. us !)  are going to be spread thin at each event. To that extent, 5 x CFP's is going to to be some work

3.       Have we any idea on the format?  I notice on TLF website, that theyre talking about a plenary morning and then breakouts. Have we any idea how many sessions there are to fill at each one ?
Angela will go over the logistics of the main meeting room and hackathon room at the first meeting on March 10th. The number of sessions wanted, length of sessions and selection of talks is entirely up to the community.  We just need to tell Angela what we would like to do :)

4.       My suggestion would be to give one person "lead" responsibility for the CFP for each event. Yes, the actual selection can be done by a committee (open to the whole community) but from experience it takes somebody to drum up interest and herd the cats.
For example, I'd be happy to take the lead on Dublin, maybe David on Austin,etc
Currently, we have David Nalley taking the lead for the CloudStack Days Austin CFP. Sebastien is taking the lead for CloudStack Days Budapest CFP. The Japanese CloudStack User Group is taking the lead on CloudStack Days Japan CFP. You are taking the lead for CloudStack Days Dublin CFP. We do need one person to take the lead on CloudStack Days Seattle CFP - does anyone want to take that? John Kinsella? :)

5.       Have we engaged with the guys in JPN ? - I'm sure they'll have no problem filling their day :)
Yes, we have engaged with the Japanese CloudStack User Group. Angela has filled them in on Cloudstack Days Tokyo. She has ensured that they are aware that CloudStack Days Tokyo is their event and the Linux Foundation is helping with logistics. She's doing an amazing job there. Noriaki Fukuyasu with the Linux Foundation is going to help with sponsorships for CloudStack Days Tokyo.

6.       To save work: maybe discuss having repeatable content for the plenary ? If we can collectively work on that content, then its less of a burden for whoever has got to stand up on the day
Let's discuss this during the first planning meeting so we can get a consensus from everyone on the call.

7.       It may be sensible to try and co-ordinate *who* from the existing community is going to be at each event.

8.       Risk: I initially had the thought that it would be nice if PMC/committers all "aimed" for one of these events  - so we could all get together (which we may miss with this new format). In hindsight, I think that could present a real risk to the success of the events (i.e. if committers, etc all go to, say, Seattle, it may leave the others very short of people to speak ,etc)
So, bad idea, but I have to ask the question: how do we stop that happening anyway ? i.e. a critical mass building up around one of the events
Let's discuss this during the first meeting.

Looking forward to the first meeting
Great! I'll forward you the calendar invitation now.


Kind Regards
Giles

My feeling is that folks will gravitate towards the closest conference for them. The risk is that we get a bit fragmented (so I actually am more worried about the exact opposite than you :) ) but the advantage is that we grow stronger regional communities

Subject: RE: [OPEN PLANNING MEETINGS] CloudStack Days 2015

Hi Karen et al
Its great to see this progressing
I'm sure some of these things will get covered off in the planning meetings, but these are a random set of thoughts/questions from me:


1.       I fully support this new format, as I feel it allows us to reach a much broader audience,  but I think they are going to be quite different events to CCC - more about attracting new people than the "existing" community getting together.

2.        does mean that the  existing   community people (i.e. us !)  are going to be spread thin at each event. To that extent, 5 x CFP's is going to to be some work

3.       Have we any idea on the format?  I notice on TLF website, that theyre talking about a plenary morning and then breakouts. Have we any idea how many sessions there are to fill at each one ?
Angela will go over the logistics of the main meeting room and hackathon room at the first meeting on March 10th. The number of sessions wanted, length of sessions and selection of talks is entirely up to the community.  We just need to tell Angela what we would like to do :)

4.       My suggestion would be to give one person "lead" responsibility for the CFP for each event. Yes, the actual selection can be done by a committee (open to the whole community) but from experience it takes somebody to drum up interest and herd the cats.
For example, I'd be happy to take the lead on Dublin, maybe David on Austin,etc
Currently, we have David Nalley taking the lead for the CloudStack Days Austin CFP. Sebastien is taking the lead for CloudStack Days Budapest CFP. The Japanese CloudStack User Group is taking the lead on CloudStack Days Japan CFP. You are taking the lead for CloudStack Days Dublin CFP. We do need one person to take the lead on CloudStack Days Seattle CFP - does anyone want to take that? John Kinsella? :)

5.       Have we engaged with the guys in JPN ? - I'm sure they'll have no problem filling their day :)
Yes, we have engaged with the Japanese CloudStack User Group. Angela has filled them in on Cloudstack Days Tokyo. She has ensured that they are aware that CloudStack Days Tokyo is their event and the Linux Foundation is helping with logistics. She's doing an amazing job there. Noriaki Fukuyasu with the Linux Foundation is going to help with sponsorships for CloudStack Days Tokyo.

6.       To save work: maybe discuss having repeatable content for the plenary ? If we can collectively work on that content, then its less of a burden for whoever has got to stand up on the day
Let's discuss this during the first planning meeting so we can get a consensus from everyone on the call.

7.       It may be sensible to try and co-ordinate *who* from the existing community is going to be at each event.

8.       Risk: I initially had the thought that it would be nice if PMC/committers all "aimed" for one of these events  - so we could all get together (which we may miss with this new format). In hindsight, I think that could present a real risk to the success of the events (i.e. if committers, etc all go to, say, Seattle, it may leave the others very short of people to speak ,etc)
So, bad idea, but I have to ask the question: how do we stop that happening anyway ? i.e. a critical mass building up around one of the events
Let's discuss this during the first meeting.

Looking forward to the first meeting
Great! I'll forward you the calendar invitation now.


Kind Regards
Giles
