Open Stack

Dear OpenStack Sponsors and Supporters,

Thanks go to the companies who have shown an interest in sponsoring the
upcoming OpenStack Days
<https://www.openstack.org/community/events/openstackdays/> East 2017
conference.

As you may have heard, we are excited to announce that OpenStack Days
<https://www.openstack.org/community/events/openstackdays/> East 2017 will
be in the city of Washington, DC, with the tentative dates of Aug 22-23,
2017. The two day event will have a focus on the Government sector, amongst
many others, such as containerization, DevOps practices, provisioning,
orchestration and more.

We have found a promising venue, and an event planner for this conference
but the next hurdle is to find companies that are willing to directly pay
for the deposits for both the venue and the event planner, and to co-lead
the effort with the current volunteers.  This would be happening while the
sponsorship money is coming in.  If you are interested please contact us
immediately via email, and fill out this form
<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdwu6FpGIQ6zis-F99E_oWMdWJ8olXKyp50E8G5PQQ4CIwYDg/viewform?c=0&w=1>.
Without this crucial step it is unlikely for the conference to proceed.

<https://www.meetup.com/OpenStack-Baltimore/>, VA OpenStack Users
<https://www.linkedin.com/groups/4762393/>, and several other east coast
OpenStack groups will be organizing the OpenStack Days East 2017 event. In
order to proceed in earnest, with the planning, we are soliciting a
tentative sponsorship commitment from your company for this event.

Last year’s sponsorship costs can be found here
<https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B28O7k5mIZSiODN6enZROU1EV1lBeE91ekNmbmIxTGNVSXBj>,
which may differ in 2017. All sponsorship levels are currently available
for 2017.  If your company is interested in sponsoring this conference,
please fill out this form
<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdwu6FpGIQ6zis-F99E_oWMdWJ8olXKyp50E8G5PQQ4CIwYDg/viewform?c=0&w=1>.
Also, please keep in mind that this initial sponsorship step only requires
a contact name and an email address from your company.

As you know OpenStack Days East <http://www.openstackeast.com/>, in NYC
<http://www.openstackeast.com/location/> last year, was a resounding
success.  Some of the companies that sponsored the 2016 event were HP
Enterprise, Red Hat, SUSE, Canonical, Dell, and IBM. The full list of 2016
sponsors can be found here <http://www.openstackeast.com/sponsors/>. We
look forward to hearing back from you soon. Thank you very much in advance.

Thank you very much in advance and look forward to working with you.
