Open Stack

Dear Fellow Cloud App Crafters,

The Plone conference (a popular Python CMS) has recently reached out to us
(below) to do some training at their upcoming conference in Boston (the
week before the OpenStack Barcelona Summit).

This size of the Plone community (250ppl in attendance) represents a
focused and established market segment; which one of your companies is
going to make a pretty penny in supporting their CMS application atop
OpenStack.  Sing it with me: E-N-T-E-R-P-R-I-S-E.

Below are some options for engaging with this fellow Open Source
Foundation.  I would really like to find a way to engage with them so as to
have them listed as a flagship app on our app catalogue.

Accordingly:

Calling any and all ideas, especially for anyone on the USA East Coast for
how we might engage?!

For example:

   - Mirantis could show off how to deploy Plone with K8S/Murano
   - RAX could show off how to deploy Plone with Carina
   - Company XYZ could co-sponsor a booth with the Foundation.
   - Lightning talks about how your company supports apps
   - Community could do training on Shade/Oaktree, APIs, etc.

Lots of options here, let's figure out something cool to do for this ready
and waiting cloud app community :)

@Victor may I request this be added to an agenda item for AppEco-WG?

Kind Regards,

Flanders

Hi David,

Could you please send us some information about the class you'd like to
teach? In particular we need title, length (1/2 day, whole day, 2 day), a
description, and any prerequisites/expertise required. Will it be hands on,
should people bring laptops? As soon as we get this, we'll add an
abbreviated description to the "teaser" training page (
https://2016.ploneconf.org/training) with the full page description to
follow in a couple of weeks.

One of our goals with the conference training classes is to make public all
the training materials. We are hoping that will be OK with you?

I was also wondering if you'd be interested in giving a short (15 min)
OpenStack demo during the conference proper? For example, I think you
talked about a multi-Plone site OpenStack deployment targeted at
universities - that's just the sort of thing it would be awesome to have a
live demo of. (There will also be lightning talks and longer presentations
if you'd like to propose one of those - see here:
https://2016.ploneconf.org/talks.)

Finally, I was wondering if OpenStack would be interested in sponsoring the
conference? I've attached a prospectus that describes the conference, the
audience, and the sponsorship levels. Perhaps you could pass that on to the
appropriate person?

Thank you *very* much, we are so excited about including an OpenStack
training class!

Sally
