Dear OpenStack Sponsors and Supporters, Thanks go to the companies who have shown an interest in sponsoring the upcoming OpenStack Days <https://www.openstack.org/community/events/openstackdays/> East 2017 conference.
As you may have heard, 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 tentative dates in mid to late August, 2017. The two day event will have a focus on the Government sector, amongst many others, such as containerization, DevOps practices, provisioning, orchestration and more. *We have found a promising venue, and an event planner for this conference but the next hurdle is to find companies that are willing to directly pay for the deposits for both the venue and the event planner, and to co-lead the effort with the current volunteers. This would be happening while the sponsorship money is coming in. 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>. Without this crucial step it is unlikely for the conference to proceed.* 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> . 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.
