European OpenStack Operators Meetup
Event Information
Description
The first European OpenStack Operators meetup will be held in Manchester, UK on February 15th/16th 2016.
Online registration prior to the event is required. Registration will close Wednesday, February 10.
This event aims to gives people who run OpenStack clouds in Europe a place to congregate, swap best practices, ideas and give feedback. It has mostly a round table/working/discussion session feel, with only a small number of presentations. It has the following goals:
- Gather feedback on the issues that come up in running OpenStack and work to communicate this throughout the community
- Create a forum in which to share best practices and architectures between interested parties
- Increase constructive, proactive involvement from those running clouds
Lunch and refreshments will be provided courtesy of our sponsors: Canonical, Codethink, Datacentred, Midokura. There will also be an evening drinks events thanks to the OpenStack Foundation, with details to follow.
This is a user driven non-commercial event, so we need your input to the content. Please contribute with ideas for talks and discussion sessions on the etherpad.
***Note***: This event assumes OpenStack ops knowledge and is _not_ appropriate for beginners, or a place to learn about OpenStack. The event contains relatively few 'presentations' and is mostly a discussion-style event. To find other OpenStack events in your area, please visit www.openstack.org/events.
