Mark, thanks for sharing your thoughts. I was at OSCON and thought CloudStack had a good booth. Everybody loved the monkey shirts! I'd also suggest getting some cards or some such thing with the cloudstack.org URL. If I recall correctly the monkey shirt does not have the URL. People wanted to know where to go to download the binary.
Also, I assume all community members are welcome to staff the booth for Apache CloudStack? -kevin > -----Original Message----- > From: Hinkle Mark R.
