Hello Folks, I have submitted the tracks. The next step now is to schedule a meeting with the TDC organizers again. However, at this time, I need some of you in the call. We will be discussing channels to spread the word regarding the conference, talks selection process, maybe branding (CCC, Apache CloudStack) with the TDC, and so on. Who would be willing to join me in this call?
Here go the details of the tracks that I submitted. > *Track Name:* Cloud Orchestration > *Track slogan:* Meet the cloud builders and learn how clouds are created > *Track description:* > Computing resources became a commodity, and as such, they are sold and > consumed and billed on demand. Cloud computing provided all of that with > resiliency, elasticity, and scalability; thus, it is enabling companies to > efficiently use computing resources. > > The cloud orchestration track will address topics regarding features, and > cloud orchestration systems design (e.g. CloudStack, and OpenStack) and > cloud data center structure. Moreover, the audience will have the > opportunity to meet the people behind the cloud orchestration systems > mostly deployed in the world. > > *Targeted audience:* > he main audience is cloud operators/administrators that are dealing on a > daily basis with cloud computing platforms. Other interested parties are > cloud developers (developers interested in working at the base of the > cloud, and not just on consuming cloud resources), cloud consultants and > business people that work creating, deploying, and maintaining cloud > computing environments. > *Track Name:* Cloud DevOps > *Track slogan:* Get together with other cloud administrators and > developers and share your daily hacks! > *Track description:* > Companies are either creating private clouds or using public clouds > (sometimes doing both at the same time). This track provides a space for > system administrators and developers to share their day-to-day tasks and > hacks when consuming cloud resources or maintaining cloud environments. > *Targeted audience:* > The targeted audience is cloud developers (cloud consumers) or cloud > administrators that use in a daily bases cloud resources and or cloud > platforms. > *Track Name:* Cloud testing and QA > *Track slogan:* Let’s find out how people assure quality and cope with > the scale and dynamism of the cloud at the same time > *Track description:* > We all talk about agile development and the speed, elasticity, and > cost-effective nature of cloud environments. It is a challenge for > developers, testers and team leaders to provide software quality assurance > in ever shorter development cycles. > > The solution for reducing development cycles, optimizing development and > testing efforts, and make the most of the cloud is automation. Thus, > continuous integration, delivery, and deployment are the buzzwords that > come to save the day of DevOps. > > *Targeted audience:* > Developers and testers that take advantage cloud resources to enable the > development of more efficient, stable, and reliable applications. > > *Track Name:* Cloud open ecosystem > *Track slogan:* Let’s discover together the business and job > opportunities that we have in the cloud. > *Track description:* > The cloud is everywhere, from your local pizza shop to large retailers. > This track focus on the cloud ecosystem, the job market, business > opportunities, and the management process of highly heterogeneous and > distributed communities in OpenSource (such as CloudStack and OpenStack) > > Also, have you ever wondered… who are the cloud players that you have > nearby? What are the business opportunities in the cloud? How is the life > of a developer that creates clouds? And what about cloud admins?! How does > someone get into the cloud realm? Are the cloud people green?! Stop > wondering, and board this track to discover the answers for these questions > and many other interesting facts about the Cloud OpenSource world. > > *Targeted audience:* > Everybody, from business people to developers that either work with cloud > or want to get into the cloud world. > *Track Name: *Cloud security > *Track slogan:* Cloud security, have you heard of it? And, what about > privacy in the cloud? Let’s get together and discuss the security aspects > of the cloud > *Track description:* > As cloud becomes pervasive, it is rare for us not to use it. Therefore, > the cloud impacts constantly our daily life. Moreover, we are storing most > of our data in the cloud. Is that data protected? Is the cloud protecting > our privacy? And, what about the GDPR?
