Fwd: [OpenStack Marketing] Additional 2014 Industry Events' Call For Papers open

[Dave Neary]

Hi all,

A couple of conferences which are relevant to oVirt - it would be great
to see some presentation proposals from the project - especially for
HostingCon, whose CfP closes on Friday.

Contact myself or Brian Proffitt if you are interested just to let us know.

Cheers,
Dave.

OpenStack's 2013 industry event experience indicates speaking sessions
can be the best way to reach the most receptive audiences.  Speaking at
industry events is a great way to educate OpenStack users and potential
users while indirectly promoting your company's expertise.



Your innovative presentations are requested for these upcoming events.
The CFP hotlinks will direct you to details on the recommended topics

 1. OSCON 2014 <http://www.oscon.com/oscon2014>, event date July 20-24
    in Portland, OR. CFP <http://www.oscon.com/oscon2014/public/cfp/308>
    due by *January 30*. Audience is primarily very technical, leading
    edge developers, sys admins and open source enthusiasts who are most
    likely familiar and/or working with OpenStack software. They will
    appreciate in-depth topics. OSCON 2014 coincides with the the
    software's 4th birthday.
 2. Cloud Expo East <http://www.cloudcomputingexpo.com/>, event date
    June 10-12 in New York City. CFP
    <http://www.cloudcomputingexpo.com/general/papers2014east.htm>due by
    *March 1*. Audience is primarily IT managers and staff. At the 2013
    event, we experienced most of this audience was looking for benefits
    of cloud computing, how cloud is differentiated from virtualization,
    and had heard of OpenStack but did not yet have specific knowledge
    of the software. On the other hand, there were a few very technical
    conversations. NYC-based user stories and business cases welcome.
 3. Cloud World Forum Europe
    <http://cloudwf.com/interested-in-speaking/>, event date June 17-18
    in London. CFP <http://cloudwf.com/interested-in-speaking/>*deadline
    to come*; not yet listed. Audience is a mix of IT decision makers
    and management, and evenly split between multinational enterprises
    and SMB. European case studies would be ideal.
