All Marco & Cyrano are organising a "CloudStack day" in Sao Paulo, Brazil on 12 February 2015. Format will be single track (maybe 5-6 talks) ,no "pay to play" talks , target 300 attendees. There will be sponsors, but the event will be run on a non-profit basis
The University of Sao Paulo have kindly donated a venue http://www.bbm.usp.br/node/19 If anybody is interested in speaking at this event, please let one of us know. I understand that it is a long way for many people to travel, but the fact that Carnival starts the next day may help persuade a few of you! As per our byelaws, we should make an open offer to anybody in the community to be involved in the selection of talks. If we actually get enough volunteers to fly to Brazil (and have more talks than slots) - then we will do exactly that. However, I anticipate that we may not actually get to that point. Also, if any companies are interested in sponsoring the event, please let Marco know - he will be working with a local events organiser who will be handling sponsorship Kind Regards Giles Giles Sirett CEO [Description: Mail Logo Bottom Align] D: +44 20 3603 0541 | S: +44 20 3603 0540 | M: +44 796 111 2055 giles.sir...@shapeblue.com<mailto:giles.sir...@shapeblue.com> | www.shapeblue.com<http://www.shapeblue.com/> | Twitter:@shapeBlue<https://twitter.com/#!/shapeblue> Find out more about ShapeBlue and our range of CloudStack related services IaaS Cloud Design & Build<http://shapeblue.com/iaas-cloud-design-and-build//> CSForge - rapid IaaS deployment framework<http://shapeblue.com/csforge/> CloudStack Consulting<http://shapeblue.com/cloudstack-consultancy/> CloudStack Software Engineering<http://shapeblue.com/cloudstack-software-engineering/> CloudStack Infrastructure Support<http://shapeblue.com/cloudstack-infrastructure-support/> CloudStack Bootcamp Training Courses<http://shapeblue.com/cloudstack-training/> This email and any attachments to it may be confidential and are intended solely for the use of the individual to whom it is addressed.
