[Request for help] CCC Miami

[Giles Sirett <gi...@shapeblue.com>]

Hi everybody

Will, Wido, Simon, myself and Paul have been working really hard to make sure that CCC Miami is a great success
However - we now need you help

http://us.cloudstackcollab.org/

We've got a great looking set of talks, many of them from people on these lists - so thanks for participating guys
Theres free cloudstack training for any newbies and also an all day hackathon - a chance to get together and work on some of the long term priorities for cloudstack

. We now need to drive attendance to the event and get the word outside of these lists


  1.  If YOU are not already registered, do so
  2.  Please tweet/post that you are going to the event
  3.  If you're speaking at the event - please tweet about it- tell the world about your session
  4.  Please speak to colleagues, partners & customers and encourage them to come along - I've even created a sample email below that you can send to people
  5.  Look through the schedule and pick a couple of talks that really interest you. Then tweet about those talks and mention the speaker by handle

This event has been wholly community organised. There is no marketing machine to kick in and help drive attendees, please can everybody here just spend a few minutes to help out with this


Kind regards
Giles

Dear

I are writing to let you the CloudStack Collaboration Conference [http://us.cloudstackcollab.org]will be held  in Miami, May 16-18, and to invite you to get involved.


The conference is aimed at developers, operators and users to discuss and evolve the Apache Cloudstack  project, its functionality and real world operability.

The conference has over 30 great expert talks on Cloudstack, free cloudstack training and a hackathon session for collaboration. It presents an opportunity to learn what's going on at the cutting-edge of the project and also to network with peers in organizations  similar to yours.

Hosted along side the ApacheCon event, participants have a wonderful opportunity to learn and collaborate on CloudStack, while also discovering new projects.

Miami is a wonderful travel destination with something for everyone. Consider extending your stay a day or two to enjoy the beach and sun.
*      The earlier you register, the more you save, so get your tickets early.
