Hello, Before CloudStack became Apache CloudStack we kept a pretty aggressive events schedule focused on evangelism and education of users on how to deploy CloudStack clouds primarily at open source venues (e.g. Linuxcon, Linuxfests), via free webinars and cloud computing events. Typically these events were organized by David Nalley and I and underwritten by Citrix but conducted under the CloudStack brand. I would like to continue to do this as appropriate with Apache CloudStack. <http://clds.co/NqRIb7>
We now have additional evangelists (like Joe Brockmeier and Sebastien Goasguen) dedicated to promoting and aiding the Apache CloudStack project 100% of the time as well as other committers and developers we would like to leverage. We also want want to get the broader Apache CloudStack community involved in not only the development but the promotion of the software. I created this wiki page <http://clds.co/PD0raZ> with some proposed plans to promote Apache CloudStack for the rest of the year and I am soliciting input, support, PMC approval and if need be flames. We also want to whenever possible support other members of the community at their events when they promote CloudStack. I am not sure what that could mean but if anyone needs assistance or has ideas let me know (at the very least I can probably help cover the pizza and beer;). Thanks, Mark Mark R.
