[Discuss] CloudStack Collab Summit 2013
Given that we are part of the way into 2013 I thought I would bring up the topic of the CloudStack Collab Summit(s) for this year. I am willing to put up the sponsorship to secure a venue and get the ball rolling. I also hear rumblings of folks willing to help do a CloudStack Collaboration Summit in Amsterdam as well.
For CloudStack Collaboration Conference 2012 we were at capacity at 300 attendees and we had a waiting list. I am thinking that we will want to have space for at least 600 for the next event.
I would like to propose a CloudStack Collab Summit in Silicon Valley this spring (May?) and one in the fall in Europe in Amsterdam(November?). If we don't get any significant objections I'll be glad to work on a proposal similar to last time and get the blessing of the PPMC and the Apache Events Committee. Comments, feedback,flames?

I think having them so far apart (geographically) makes it ok.
I would love to be a part of the silicon valley one. And I think there is a large part of the community that feels left out if we only hold official events in NA.
Based on social rumblings, and IDCs interesting figures, I think interest is quite high going into 2013.

Honestly, I think that it's too much coordination. If we are allowed to
graduate, then the next conference can be a bit of a party around that!

Giles, I am sure we can have a local organizing committee.
The more companies and folks help plan/sponsor this the better.

Mark - missed this thread last week (vacation), sorry to post so late
I agree with the 2 x events. I see Chips point, but those airfares across the Atlantic add up for folks and I think 2 will give us a greater number of people & community value overall. I think a good % of people will come to both and we shouldn't be scared of overlapping content
I'm happy to lend as much time/effort as needed to help get the Europe event rolling and I'm sure the other ShapeBlue guys will. I'll also discuss at our next European User group meetup (many of whom aren't on these lists)
I don't know how last years Collab was organised, but could this be something that the eurpoeans (i.e. myself, Seb, Donal, Hugo, Wido, etc ) can have a more direct input on ?

So to summarize the threadŠ
I think the collective opinion is that we should do a CloudStack Collab
Summit in EMEA this spring and since Hugo's got the resources to help plan
in Amersterdam I think we should let him take the lead for that and
Sebastien, Mohammed, Wido and the others that stepped up can help him.
I'll volunteer to find the funding once he has a proposed venue and some
costs and the PPMC and ConCom sign-off on the event.
Also unless we get objections we'll plan for a second summit in North
America in the fall and want to try to get that venue reserved it is very
hard to find a place on short timeframes. I'll work to get the funding in
place for that one too.
To Chip's question on is two summits too many, I see a huge appetite for
people to come talk about CloudStack.I
think since all decisions are made on list it's not like you miss out by
not going to both or either it's just nice to put faces to IRC nicks/email
addies.
Anything else?

I think we should go for it as you propose. NA summit in the June, and

The best laid plans.....
I heard back from our EMEA contingent for the Collab Summit and their
conference planners think that the the spring might be too aggressive to
but on the European event.
The conference folks that organized ApacheCon (The Open Bastion) tell me
that they are available to organize the North American event this spring
and have a venue available on June 23 through 25 in Silicon Valley for 500
people. I think that we can make that happen.
Then we can give the European folks enough time to plan an event in the
fall in Amersterdam.
Please let me know if you have any objections time is ticking and I think
as agreed it would be good to have two events so not everyone has to
travel so far.

So to summarize the threadŠ
I think the collective opinion is that we should do a CloudStack Collab
Summit in EMEA this spring and since Hugo's got the resources to help plan
in Amersterdam I think we should let him take the lead for that and
Sebastien, Mohammed, Wido and the others that stepped up can help him.
I'll volunteer to find the funding once he has a proposed venue and some
costs and the PPMC and ConCom sign-off on the event.
Also unless we get objections we'll plan for a second summit in North
America in the fall and want to try to get that venue reserved it is very
hard to find a place on short timeframes. I'll work to get the funding in
place for that one too.
To Chip's question on is two summits too many, I see a huge appetite for
people to come talk about CloudStack.I
think since all decisions are made on list it's not like you miss out by
not going to both or either it's just nice to put faces to IRC nicks/email
addies.
Anything else?

APAC trends better than Europe (see http://www.google.co.uk/trends/explore#q=cloudstack) Not sure if this means we need to create more awareness in Europe, or focus on interested parties in APAC.
WRT to the Valley, where do integrators congregate? Our plugin model seems to open up a lot of opportunity for writing support for new resources.
OSCON piggyback? Had a lot of OpenStack presentations last year.

As long as they're separate audiences, and there are separate planners
involved, it should be fine. I do wonder though if there is a good
chunk of the audience that would end up choosing one or the other, for
example our friends in Asia/Pacific. It would be nice to see some of
those guys (or the europeans) at the US one on occasion.
We could do 1 a year, rotate continents, and put some of the resources
that would have gone into the second one into sponsoring committers
from outside to travel. Or we could do multiples and just assume that
individuals will rotate which ones they go to if they can only do it
once a year.

I think it's better, we can reach a lot of people who want to use
CloudStack that might not be able to make a trip from Europe to the U.S.
for a conference. I think it's at least worth doing this year to see the
level of interest.

Awsome that we can have two summits in one year!
I do have a slight preference to do the Europe summit earlier in the year. I believe CloudStack is gaining a lot of momentum in Europa and having a summit here good pull a lot of people it that would like to participate in the CloudStack community. November sounds a bit late in this year for this event, I'd say sooner rather than later.
On the practical side I'd rather be in the bay area in November and May in Amsterdam with regards to the weather ;-)

No objections, but I do want to point out possible conflicts in May.
Most of these are probably OK to coincide with, but Interop and the
Virtualization and Cloud Summit may be events to avoid. Or we may want
to look at being part of the event in Anaheim in some way..
