Open Stack

Sriram,
Sponsorship is a possibility, though probably not for this effort since it’s kind of last minute.

FYI, Rackspace is looking into the possibility of hosting an OpenStack UX gathering in between the OpenStack summits this year, so August-ish. The more involved you are with UX related activities, the better the chance Rackspace or another company would sponsor you!

I see how valuable this could be.

Any chances of big companies sponsoring  independent players like me? Who can help me on that?

Thanks,
Sriram

Subject: Re: [Openstack-personas] Meeting to sort through interview data

I second. This is a hands on activity requiring post-its and in-depth conversations. If we had a couple days we could also work on summit preparation in general.

Rackspace is happy to host. For people not within driving distance (I don’t consider Colorado driving distance), can you ask your managers if they’d reimburse travel expenses? I'll see what Rackspace can do - I’m sure at the very least they’ll feed us :)

It seems as though Austin makes the most sense because it’s driving distance from folks from Dell, HP and RackSpace.  Also, there is a strong tech community in Austin, so we would be able to invite other stakeholders to attend the sessions assuming that the have experience with the cloud.
