Open Stack

Hi everyone,

I think many of you have heard, but we've officially locked down the Oregon Convention Center, April 15-18, in Portland for the OpenStack Spring 2013 Summit.  

As usual, we’ll have a variety of content and tracks, ranging from user stories and technical deep dives to hands-on workshops. If you’d like to submit a presentation, panel or workshop, the call for speakers is now open and will close February 15.  http://www.openstack.org/summit/portland-2013/call-for-speakers

If you are interested in submitting a session for the Design Summit, a special track planning the development work to be implemented in the “H” release, there will be a separate system opening closer to the Grizzly feature freeze and closing after the Grizzly release in April.

Summit attendees will again vote on speaking submissions to help determine which presentations are the best fit for our Spring Summit. We’ll also have subject matter experts serving as track chairs to make sure all of our audiences are well-served.  If you are interested in being a track chair, please send me a note. The voting system will open on February 18, with the goal of locking the agenda by March 11.

Event registration and discount hotel rates will be available the week of January 14.  We will again be sending free Summit registration codes to Active Technical Contributors who contributed to the Folsom release up to the Grizzly-3 milestone (February 21). Please check your email and the site for more details and instructions as they become available.  http://www.openstack.org/summit

Please mark your calendars and plan to attend – we look forward to seeing you in Portland!
