Re: CS Collab Conf Brazil page is down

[Gabriel Beims Bräscher <ga...@gmail.com>]

Hello all (users, dev and marketing lists),


After exercising the idea and studying some alternatives we (me, Rafael and
Lucas) have something in mind to make the Apache CloudStack Collab
Conference possible in South America. However, before going forward
arranging an infrastructure to host the event, and investing our time and
resources, we need the feedback of the community to see if there is enough
interest in such event.


Sorry for the big e-mail. I hope that at least this proposal is clear and
that you all embrace the discussion.



What we are willing to do to help the event:

(i) Hosting the conference. We can make an effort to use public
infrastructure from the Federal University of Santa Catarina [1] as Rafael
previously said. However, to do so, this event CANNOT have any commercial
appeal; otherwise, it is not allowed to use infrastructure and resources
from the Federal University of Santa Catarina (Universidade Federal de
Santa Catarina – UFSC);

(ii) promote the conference for the local public (researchers, students, IT
professionals);

(iii) propose topics and sessions aligned with South America/Brazil context;

(iv) we can suggest restaurants, hotels, and provide general information
regarding the city and country;


Why host in the Federal University of Santa Catarina?

(i) We want to evangelize CloudStack to new generations and we see this as
an opportunity to show the Apache way to students, professors, and academic
researchers;

(ii) additionally, we do not have money to host such event. Using this
infrastructure would cut a great amount of costs and make this conference
possible in South America;

(iii) It is one of the best universities in South America, reaching
position number 9 among Brazilian universities and position number 25 in
the overall ranking of the QS University Rankings: Latin America 2016;

(iv) Florianópolis economy is based on tourism and tech companies. This,
aligned with its high quality of life, attracted skilled professionals that
were interested in running out from the chaos of big cities such as São
Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Porto Alegre, and Belo Horizonte;

(v) Florianópolis is a great city and normally outsiders that go there tend
to love the experience. There are attractions for all kind of tourists. You
can have more information in [2], [3], and [4]. In [5] there are some
pictures from Florianópolis; here you can also discover a little bit about
our beloved state [6].



Our goals with this event:

(i) I know that Brazil has embraced CloudStack as a reliable cloud
orchestrator. Some examples are the USP (University of São Paulo) that has
the biggest cloud infrastructure from a public entity in South America,
UNICAMP (University of Campinas), and Globo.com. However, CloudStack is not
yet as spread in South America/Brazil as it is in Europe, Japan, and North
America. Our first goal with this event is to evangelize CloudStack in
South America, showing the potential of the project and community for young
students, researchers, and professionals/companies interested in deploying
cloud infrastructures;

(ii) unite the South American community, planning and discussing ways to
evolve the project in our countries;

(iii) host an event that enriches the CloudStack community, providing
opportunities for students (explaining what is cloud, the Apache way, the
Apache CloudStack project, and the job opportunities that this area has to
offer), academic researchers (pointing open researching topics in
cloud/CloudStack to bring researchers interested in developing the
CloudStack project), IT professionals (people that want to understand what
CloudStack has to offer to their companies and the job opportunities that
CloudStack can bring), CloudStack users (where they can interact with
developers, aligning all interests), and CloudStack developers that can
discuss advanced topics and enjoy hackathons;

(iv) make this event open and provide the best conditions for the public in
general. We plan to make it free (or charge symbolic price); we know that
most of us have a limited budget for trip and hotel, so we plan to make the
conference ticket free or with a symbolic price, just to avoid people
getting tickets because it is free but at the end don’t attend ;)



When?

As Rafael said, there are two periods when it is a good moment to do such
an event there; around August-September (for this year, it might be too
close), or March-April. These periods correspond to the beginning of the
semesters there, so we have the benefit that students will not be working
like crazy. However, you may have another period in mind.

As a suggestion. If one intends to spend vacations in Brazil, this is a
great place to do it, and choosing the dates carefully may help those with
adventurous spirit ;)



How many days would the conference have?

One idea would be a conference of 3 days tops. People can use the weekend
to travel; arrive on Monday to rest and adapt with the timezone; the
conference then would start on Tuesday and end on Thursday; we would have
Friday for rest and enjoy a bit of the nearby attractions, on the weekend
we start the trip back for the "real" life.



What do we need from the community?

(i) Discuss alternatives and align with all interests;

(ii) we would love to bring PMCs and commiters on this event, so the
general public and users can get in touch with the people that develop
their beloved ACS;

(iii) if possible, seek resources from the Apache Software Foundation to
bring some Apache and Apache CloudStack stickers, shirts, and other nice
stuff for attendees;

(iv) spread the conference and bring the most attendees we can to enjoy,
interact, and learn.



Again, we need the feedback of the community as a whole. If the community
embraces this idea we can take it to the next step.


Best regards,

Gabriel.

Re: CS Collab Conf Brazil page is down

[Rafael Weingärtner <ra...@gmail.com>]

Most people would not need Visas, and that is why I find it so interesting.

For instance, Latin and central Americans do not need a visa for
visiting/tourism; people from europeans country also do not need.

Here you have the complete list:
http://www.portalconsular.itamaraty.gov.br/images/qgrv/QGRV-simples-ing-08-12-16.pdf



Find your country in the table that starts on page 2 and check the
corresponding code in column “VITUR (Tourism)”. The caption for the codes
is listed on page 1. The most common codes are 1 (visa is required) and 8
(visa exemption for staying as a tourist for a period of at most 90 days)



I am going to an event in Brazil this month, and for the guys that needed a
Visa, it took between 24-72 HOURS to finish the process and receive the
visa stamp in the passport (this happened in Montreal, I do not know how
other consulates would work, but they all should follow the same protocol).



I also think that organizing something for 2018 is safer. Then, we only
need to decide the time frame and check if we have a quorum to start
organizing everything. The university has a big body of technological
courses from computer science to Engineerings (electrical, mechanical,
automation and so forth) that would probably attend, but I do believe that
contact with you guys (active PMCs and Committers) would make all the
difference.

Re: CS Collab Conf Brazil page is down

[Rafael Weingärtner <ra...@gmail.com>]

Most people would not need Visas, and that is why I find it so interesting.

For instance, Latin and central Americans do not need a visa for
visiting/tourism; people from europeans country also do not need.

Here you have the complete list:
http://www.portalconsular.itamaraty.gov.br/images/qgrv/QGRV-simples-ing-08-12-16.pdf



Find your country in the table that starts on page 2 and check the
corresponding code in column “VITUR (Tourism)”. The caption for the codes
is listed on page 1. The most common codes are 1 (visa is required) and 8
(visa exemption for staying as a tourist for a period of at most 90 days)



I am going to an event in Brazil this month, and for the guys that needed a
Visa, it took between 24-72 HOURS to finish the process and receive the
visa stamp in the passport (this happened in Montreal, I do not know how
other consulates would work, but they all should follow the same protocol).



I also think that organizing something for 2018 is safer. Then, we only
need to decide the time frame and check if we have a quorum to start
organizing everything. The university has a big body of technological
courses from computer science to Engineerings (electrical, mechanical,
automation and so forth) that would probably attend, but I do believe that
contact with you guys (active PMCs and Committers) would make all the
difference.

Find your country in the table that starts on page 2 and check the
corresponding code in column “VITUR (Tourism)”. The caption for the codes
is listed on page 1. The most common codes are 1 (visa is required) and 8
(visa exemption for staying as a tourist for a period of at most 90 days)



I am going to an event in Brazil this month, and for the guys that needed a
Visa, it took between 24-72 HOURS to finish the process and receive the
visa stamp in the passport (this happened in Montreal, I do not know how
other consulates would work, but they all should follow the same protocol).



I also think that organizing something for 2018 is safer. Then, we only
need to decide the time frame and check if we have a quorum to start
organizing everything. The university has a big body of technological
courses from computer science to Engineerings (electrical, mechanical,
automation and so forth) that would probably attend, but I do believe that
contact with you guys (active PMCs and Committers) would make all the
difference.

Re: CS Collab Conf Brazil page is down

[Gabriel Beims Bräscher <ga...@gmail.com>]

Hi Mike, that is great that you are interested in the CloudStack Collab
Conf in Brazil.

Unfortunately, I don't know how long it takes to get a Brazilian VISA.

I agree that August-September of 2017 might be too close. I think that 2018
is safer, so we all can organize and make sure that most can attend. We
think that March-April or August-September are interesting periods, but we
are open for dates that suit better with the community schedule.

Thanks for the feedback!

Re: CS Collab Conf Brazil page is down

[Gabriel Beims Bräscher <ga...@gmail.com>]

Hi Mike, that is great that you are interested in the CloudStack Collab
Conf in Brazil.

Unfortunately, I don't know how long it takes to get a Brazilian VISA.

I agree that August-September of 2017 might be too close. I think that 2018
is safer, so we all can organize and make sure that most can attend. We
think that March-April or August-September are interesting periods, but we
are open for dates that suit better with the community schedule.

Thanks for the feedback!

Re: CS Collab Conf Brazil page is down

[Gabriel Beims Bräscher <ga...@gmail.com>]

Hi Mike, that is great that you are interested in the CloudStack Collab
Conf in Brazil.

Unfortunately, I don't know how long it takes to get a Brazilian VISA.

I agree that August-September of 2017 might be too close. I think that 2018
is safer, so we all can organize and make sure that most can attend. We
think that March-April or August-September are interesting periods, but we
are open for dates that suit better with the community schedule.

Thanks for the feedback!

Re: CS Collab Conf Brazil page is down

["Tutkowski, Mike" <Mi...@netapp.com>]

Hi Gabriel,

I, for one, would be quite interested in a CloudStack Collab Conf in Brazil.

I like your idea of a three-day conference going from a Tuesday through a Thursday.

I know many of us would require a VISA to enter Brazil (as well as a passport, of course). I’m not sure how long getting a VISA typically takes, so having the conference in August/September might be too soon at this point. Correct me if I’m wrong – perhaps it doesn’t take long to get a VISA. If it is a time-consuming process, perhaps we should instead consider your March/April timeframe?

Thanks for all the info on this!
Mike

    Hello all (users, dev and marketing lists),
    
    
    After exercising the idea and studying some alternatives we (me, Rafael and
    Lucas) have something in mind to make the Apache CloudStack Collab
    Conference possible in South America. However, before going forward
    arranging an infrastructure to host the event, and investing our time and
    resources, we need the feedback of the community to see if there is enough
    interest in such event.
    
    
    Sorry for the big e-mail. I hope that at least this proposal is clear and
    that you all embrace the discussion.
    
    
    
    What we are willing to do to help the event:
    
    (i) Hosting the conference. We can make an effort to use public
    infrastructure from the Federal University of Santa Catarina [1] as Rafael
    previously said. However, to do so, this event CANNOT have any commercial
    appeal; otherwise, it is not allowed to use infrastructure and resources
    from the Federal University of Santa Catarina (Universidade Federal de
    Santa Catarina – UFSC);
    
    (ii) promote the conference for the local public (researchers, students, IT
    professionals);
    
    (iii) propose topics and sessions aligned with South America/Brazil context;
    
    (iv) we can suggest restaurants, hotels, and provide general information
    regarding the city and country;
    
    
    Why host in the Federal University of Santa Catarina?
    
    (i) We want to evangelize CloudStack to new generations and we see this as
    an opportunity to show the Apache way to students, professors, and academic
    researchers;
    
    (ii) additionally, we do not have money to host such event. Using this
    infrastructure would cut a great amount of costs and make this conference
    possible in South America;
    
    (iii) It is one of the best universities in South America, reaching
    position number 9 among Brazilian universities and position number 25 in
    the overall ranking of the QS University Rankings: Latin America 2016;
    
    (iv) Florianópolis economy is based on tourism and tech companies. This,
    aligned with its high quality of life, attracted skilled professionals that
    were interested in running out from the chaos of big cities such as São
    Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Porto Alegre, and Belo Horizonte;
    
    (v) Florianópolis is a great city and normally outsiders that go there tend
    to love the experience. There are attractions for all kind of tourists. You
    can have more information in [2], [3], and [4]. In [5] there are some
    pictures from Florianópolis; here you can also discover a little bit about
    our beloved state [6].
    
    
    
    Our goals with this event:
    
    (i) I know that Brazil has embraced CloudStack as a reliable cloud
    orchestrator. Some examples are the USP (University of São Paulo) that has
    the biggest cloud infrastructure from a public entity in South America,
    UNICAMP (University of Campinas), and Globo.com. However, CloudStack is not
    yet as spread in South America/Brazil as it is in Europe, Japan, and North
    America. Our first goal with this event is to evangelize CloudStack in
    South America, showing the potential of the project and community for young
    students, researchers, and professionals/companies interested in deploying
    cloud infrastructures;
    
    (ii) unite the South American community, planning and discussing ways to
    evolve the project in our countries;
    
    (iii) host an event that enriches the CloudStack community, providing
    opportunities for students (explaining what is cloud, the Apache way, the
    Apache CloudStack project, and the job opportunities that this area has to
    offer), academic researchers (pointing open researching topics in
    cloud/CloudStack to bring researchers interested in developing the
    CloudStack project), IT professionals (people that want to understand what
    CloudStack has to offer to their companies and the job opportunities that
    CloudStack can bring), CloudStack users (where they can interact with
    developers, aligning all interests), and CloudStack developers that can
    discuss advanced topics and enjoy hackathons;
    
    (iv) make this event open and provide the best conditions for the public in
    general. We plan to make it free (or charge symbolic price); we know that
    most of us have a limited budget for trip and hotel, so we plan to make the
    conference ticket free or with a symbolic price, just to avoid people
    getting tickets because it is free but at the end don’t attend ;)
    
    
    
    When?
    
    As Rafael said, there are two periods when it is a good moment to do such
    an event there; around August-September (for this year, it might be too
    close), or March-April. These periods correspond to the beginning of the
    semesters there, so we have the benefit that students will not be working
    like crazy. However, you may have another period in mind.
    
    As a suggestion. If one intends to spend vacations in Brazil, this is a
    great place to do it, and choosing the dates carefully may help those with
    adventurous spirit ;)
    
    
    
    How many days would the conference have?
    
    One idea would be a conference of 3 days tops. People can use the weekend
    to travel; arrive on Monday to rest and adapt with the timezone; the
    conference then would start on Tuesday and end on Thursday; we would have
    Friday for rest and enjoy a bit of the nearby attractions, on the weekend
    we start the trip back for the "real" life.
    
    
    
    What do we need from the community?
    
    (i) Discuss alternatives and align with all interests;
    
    (ii) we would love to bring PMCs and commiters on this event, so the
    general public and users can get in touch with the people that develop
    their beloved ACS;
    
    (iii) if possible, seek resources from the Apache Software Foundation to
    bring some Apache and Apache CloudStack stickers, shirts, and other nice
    stuff for attendees;
    
    (iv) spread the conference and bring the most attendees we can to enjoy,
    interact, and learn.
    
    
    
    Again, we need the feedback of the community as a whole. If the community
    embraces this idea we can take it to the next step.
    
    
    Best regards,
    
    Gabriel.
