Open Stack

+1 too, here.

I may be going too far and talking too soon (didn’t check with our marketing :P), but I’d say that to win each one of the provider product would be probably very attractive (or maybe I’m delusional again ? :)). 

For the public clouds it should be easy – give a 4 months free instance or something around that idea.
For the private cloud, I don’t know...Though I’m sure there’s possibilities there

I don’t know how much the other cloud would be willing to invest in this, but I’m sure we can make the Labs both a place to learn OpenStack, have fun (even when we discuss politics :p) and get great prizes (in a geek sense)...

Process-wise, it would be as simple as to lock up the prizes/accounts 2 weeks before the summit.

    +1 on Petter’s points below. I think the value of this kind of session is huge but the turnout over three days could’ve been much higher. Also, perhaps some more interesting prizes than stickers and hats?

In terms of collaborating with other working groups, I’m anxious to hear how the enterprise WG book sprint about migrating / running apps on OpenStack went last week. Seems like a place your team might want to be involved, or at least consider how we leverage and promote the content.

I would love to get some feedback about our efforts to attract more app developers to Barcelona and the right strategy for the future, i.e. do we think we’ll ever attract a critical mass of app developers to an OpenStack Summit, or should we be focusing our efforts to educate and build this community outside of the Summits?
