An on irc in the OTFC Net on #openstack-devcamp

Details

We've been organizing quite a bunch of interesting meetings in the great Linuxhotel around the topics virtualization and infrastructure automation and configuration management, and currently we believe OpenStack is an important piece of software in that area, so we're about to learn it ourselves.

In this course we already had a small meeting in Essen last year, but want to continue now, and invite more people to join us to learn and develop together.

So, if you're already an OpenStack developer or want to become one, if you are a virtualization / networking / systems management expert wanting to get his handy dirty, learn and share experiences about OpenStack with others - this camp is for you!

Registration / Costs

Space is limited(around 25 people to stay in the hotel, maybe slightly more when you don't need a room for the night) , so registration is mandatory, including the acceptance of the pricing:

The Linuxhotel offers us it's facilities at the lowest price possible - basic service is per person

The standard way to participate is to book a shared(two persons) luxury hotel room including Breakfast - that makes 60€ for the whole event - single room is 90€
If you want to take care for you're own accomodation(you can also bring a tent and stay in the large Hotel garden is you wish!) it's 20€, 30€ if you join the breakfast with the Hotel sleepers
If we're enough people, lunch and dinner can be offered at 5€ / 15€

There are some more options, please see http://www.linuxhotel.de/community.html for details or just ask us!

To coordinate and book a room in the Hotel for you (please see cost for the pricing!), or if you have any further questions, please send us a mail here to register and figure out the details!

Henning Sprang:
