Establish Cloudstack User Group in Turkey
Hello Kelly and Harm ,
We are looking for establish Cloudstack User Group in Turkey.
Now myself and my colleague Mehmet Mart, working on Apache Cloud Stack for
how to implement it on our environment.
We are woking on DorukNET www.doruk.net.tr and its the biggest service
provider and first cloud implementer in Turkey with Hyper-v and first vCloud
Powered Certified DC in Turkey.
Now also we want to open to open world.
We have an options like openstack but because of Mehmets have citrix
background and i like the apache project focused on cloudstack
When we work on we start to think about how we can introduce ACS in Turkey,
we would like to establish VMUG similar user group here.
Because of we are working on ISP we have a good relations with Netapp ,
Juniper , IBM , F5 and we also want to see all this plugins functionality
with ACS
Also start to write something in my blog because when you search something
about cloudstack mostly cloudstack owen documents appearing and we believe
to create more articles on our blogs. vmknowledge.wordpress.com
Now we would like to learn can we establish such thing in Turkey ? What is
the requirement and how you can help us to improve it.
Regards
Vahric Muhtaryan

Hi Vahric:
Please keep us apprised of how it is going, and particularly when you
get a venue and first date so that we can help promote it.

Thanks Giles
Very helpful
Right now we are warming up , until next week we will create twitter ,
meet up , web site and forum
Then start to reach people our friends , colleagues and people are friends
of our friends
We do not want to waste your , Sebastien time !
In Turkey people very closer to Microsoft and vmware. Open source is used
mostly more small companies but we have a some plans.
Here we can reach some people and tak face to face and create a strong
interest first, this is our first goal and it will take some time and
before this also we want to contact Netapp , Juniper, F5 to create more
more interest.
Ceph and basho other mostly interested points of us .
Really thanks for broad informations you shared us and hope before next
cloudstack conf on holland we can meet in istanbul and next meet in
holland as a CloudStackTR User Group with all.
Nice to meet you all
Regards
VM

RE: Establish Cloudstack User Group in Turkey
Posted by Giles Sirett <gi...@shapeblue.com>.
Hi Vahric
Sorry, I should have responded to you earlier.....things have been a little crazy with the build up to CCCEU13
I've been running the CloudStack European User Group for nearly 2 years now. We've got 280 members and have meetings every 3 months
We run a group on linkedin
http://www.linkedin.com/groups/Cloudstack-European-User-Group-4294158?trk=my_groups-b-grp-v
and also a meetup group.
http://www.meetup.com/CloudStack-European-User-Group/
I'd happily give you access to either of these to help you with your organisation of your community
I also help Sebastien, Harm & Hugo with the BuildACloudDays . Also, I am happy to come over to Istanbul with Sebastien,et al to speak at your first event
Our meetings were 2 hours - but we've recently moved to half days
A key thing when organising meetings is to acknowledge *who* your audience are going to be. Are you going to try to build a developer focussed group or a user/operator focused group? My advice is to keep it generic to start with and then you can go in the direction that the members take the group
The content template we usually use is:
1. Roundup of Cloudstack news since last meeting
2. 1 x technical deep dive talk (i.e. on subject like networking, a certain piece of integration, etc)
3. a talk from an "eco system" vendor doing something interesting
4. a talk from a cloudstack user (i.e. a company using the tech) on what they've been doing
This format has worked well.
My suggestion would be to start with a bang: try to organise (jointly with Sebastien? ) as full day "Build a Cloud" style day with as many guest speakers as possible.
Sebastien and I did one recently and we did:
1. intro
2.cloudstack 101 for beginners
3. Cloudstack business use-cases
4. talk on ceph
5. talk on basho
6. intro to Cloudstack networking
I usually allow 8-10 weeks to promote a meeting
Hope this helps, please do ask if you need any further advice
Kind Regards
Giles

I got all thanks
Now we have to prepare for such meetings , we have a plans and first we
will start via friends, colleagues , twitter and linkedin find and invite
the people
In two months we will fill the Turkish web site with apache cloudstack
articles
Then will prepare some small events
After we sure that we can touch enough people then we will have a big
session with audience
Here we will request your help , i guess you can help us to support our
meetings like send some guys who have deep knowledge , like to give
t-shorts of cloudstack or like that
Now its to early to talk but we will try to reach enough people and start
the meetings in first quarter of 2014

RE: Establish Cloudstack User Group in Turkey
Posted by Karen Vuong <ka...@citrix.com>.
Hi Vahric,
In addition to Radhika's advice of having regular meetups, it also helps to ask the audience for their feedback on the session and what they would like to see at future meetups. John Kinsella does a great job by doing this with our CloudStack Bay Area Users Group. He will usually ask the audience after the meetup by giving them the opportunity to raise their hands and give us their feedback. Another way is to post the question on the discussion board of your meetup group.
I also found that sending reminders of an upcoming meetup to your members is helpful. With the busy schedules of attendees, many of them can easily forget :)
We started off with an Intro to CloudStack meetup (http://www.meetup.com/CloudStack-SF-Bay-Area-Users-Group/events/103725962/), then led into storage and a hands-on hacking session (which was very popular). You'll need at least 3-4 people running around the room answering their questions and giving advice during this session.
We hold regular meetups every 45 days or so and if you have one scheduled, feel free to email this list with a link to your upcoming CloudStack meetup so that community members with credentials to the Apache CloudStack social media channels can promote.
One other idea is to take pictures of your meetups and post them in the photos section of your meetup group. I think members love seeing the action and it creates an inviting feel to new members.
Hope this helps! There's still a lot for us to learn as well but it's quite fun and you will start seeing repeat attendees and getting to know them :)
Best regards,
Karen

Karen - in addition to Radhika¹s excellent advice, do you have anything to share?
Also, for the list, what materials can be shared to help the Turkish group get off the ground?

See http://www.apache.org/foundation/marks/domains.html for guidelines re using cloudstack in a domain name.
I don't think the twitter ID is a problem as long as you don't represent yourself as the CloudStack project itself.

And.. On meetup.com - you¹ll note that the groups are named CloudStack.
See: http://ow.ly/r57JA
I know Karen has helped setup these groups on meetup.com. Karen, can you
assist on setting up a CloudStack Turkey group?

We have some questions ;
Cloudstack can provide us subdomain , for example to create a web site /
blog we would like to use CSTRUG.cloudstack.apache.org , is it possible ?

@CloudStackTRUG for twitter user group and cloudstackturkey.com for web
site , using the name cause any issue , what thing we have to care about
it ?

Awesome !
To start with, go ahead and create a user group, similar to meetup.com/CloudStack-Bangalore-Group/
Invite CloudStack enthusiasts for talks. Have regular Meetups. Simple.
You can also track the CloudStack events at http://lanyrd.com/search/?q=apache+cloudstack

Hello Kelly and Harm ,
We are looking for establish Cloudstack User Group in Turkey.
Now myself and my colleague Mehmet Mart, working on Apache Cloud Stack for how to implement it on our environment.
We are woking on DorukNET www.doruk.net.tr and its the biggest service provider and first cloud implementer in Turkey with Hyper-v and first vCloud Powered Certified DC in Turkey.
Now also we want to open to open world.
We have an options like openstack but because of Mehmets have citrix background and i like the apache project focused on cloudstack When we work on we start to think about how we can introduce ACS in Turkey, we would like to establish VMUG similar user group here.
Because of we are working on ISP we have a good relations with Netapp , Juniper , IBM , F5 and we also want to see all this plugins functionality with ACS Also start to write something in my blog because when you search something about cloudstack mostly cloudstack owen documents appearing and we believe to create more articles on our blogs. vmknowledge.wordpress.com
Now we would like to learn can we establish such thing in Turkey ? What is the requirement and how you can help us to improve it.
