Open Stack

Dear OpenStack Users, Operators, and Community,

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 15-16,
2017, which are flexible. The two day event will have a focus on the
Government sector, amongst many others, such as containerization, DevOps
practices, provisioning, orchestration and more.

OpenStackDC <https://www.meetup.com/OpenStackDC/>, OpenStack-Northern
Virginia <https://www.meetup.com/OpenStack-Nova/>, OpenStack-Baltimore
<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.

One pivotal element which is necessary in order to ensure the timeliness,
and success of this event is to find a corporate lead. We are seeking a
company or companies that are willing to engage with the OpenStack Days
East organizers, volunteers and committee members to co-plan the event, and
help with the initial seed funding required to reserve a venue, and several
other essentials required for a successful event. 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>.


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 we look forward to working with you.
