This is a proposal of how we intend to promote the Apache CloudStack incubating in the Apache Software Foundation at appropriate open source and cloud computing events. It is our intent to conduct these events while adhering to the Apache Third Party Branding Policy, version 1.0. 

Mission

In the interest of educating users on the benefits of CloudStack, foster developers and share information on open source cloud computing we intend to exhibit, train and evangelize at events appropriate to our community. When we do so we will be doing so as individuals supporting the Apache CloudStack project incubating in the Apache sSoftware Foundation. Citrix will be glad to provide financial support for expo fees, give-ways (t-shirts, stickers, etc.) with the CloudStack logo but will keep strict separation between Apache CloudStack activities and Citrix promotion events.

Primarily these events will be organized and staffed by the pre-Apache community team but all members of the CloudStack community should feel welcome to participate. For the events listed below Citrix is willing to sponsor the event and provide the booth and staffing to support CloudStack.

If you are interested in helping with an event or want to conduct your own event and would like our assistance please let us know by emailing community@cloudstack.org.

Here are examples of pre-Apache CloudStack events we conducted in the past - http://cloudstack.org/about-cloudstack/cloudstack-events/pastevents.html
