We're pleased to announce the CloudStack Collaboration Conference North America 2013!
After a successful first run in Las Vegas, we're bringing back the CloudStack Collaboration Conference<http://cloudstackcollab.org/> for 2013! This time we're gathering the community in Santa Clara, California from Sunday June 23rd through Tuesday June 25th. There's a lot going on in the Apache CloudStack community, and you won't want to miss the opportunity to catch up with the developers that are moving CloudStack forward, users who have successfully built production clouds, and integrators who are helping build a healthy ecosystem around the open foundation of Apache CloudStack. The conference is your opportunity to exchange ideas, discuss plans for Apache CloudStack, learn how others are using it, and to participate in workshops and sprints about CloudStack. We will, of course, be having some quality fun time help the community get to know one another and offset all the hard work we've been doing to move the Apache CloudStack project to a top-level project and get the 4.1.0 release close to shipping. Important Dates The Call for Papers begins on April 22nd! You can submit your proposal at CloudStackCollab.org<http://cloudstackcollab.net/CfP/>. * The Call for Proposals ends on May 11th. * Notifications go out on May 17th. * Confirmations will be due by May 22nd. * Schedule will be announced on May 25th. Note that we have a limited number of speaking slots for this event, and we've had overwhelming response to our previous CfP.
