Discussion in the cloudstack PMC has started to get a representative in there. Originally we thought of doing a CloudStack track -since we won't do our own 3 day event in Austin-, but seeing Ross's email we might be interested to work on a cloud track(s). Do folks who participate in this need to be ASF members ? we only have 4 asf members in the cloudstack PMC and it could be that the rep for Austin won't be an ASF member. Cheers, PS: Thanks to Rich for Budapest. I have been running the cloudstack conference the last 3 times, and it is a real time sinker. -Sebastien > rgds > jan i. > > > >> >> Ross >> >> >> Microsoft Open Technologies, Inc. >> A subsidiary of Microsoft Corporation >> >> -----Original Message----- >> From: Rich Bowen [mailto:rbo...@rcbowen.com] >> Sent: Saturday, November 22, 2014 9:16 AM >> To: dev >> Subject: Content tracks at ApacheCon Austin >> >> The CFP for ApacheCon Austin closes on February 1st, so we have just over >> 2 months to get our content solicited for that event.
