[CentOS-promo] CentOS Dojo + OpenNebula

Hello,

First of all here are the session titles + abstracts for the sessions we have so far for the Timisoara Dojo:

Jaime Melis (speaker might change, session will remain the same):
OpenNebula on CentOS - A zero to hero session on running your own cloud on CentOS Linux with OpenNebula, KVM and GlusterFS. We will finish off with a conversation around some of the pitfalls of modern day on premise clouds.

Alessandro Pilotti:
Automating OpenStack CI testing on CentOS with Tempest and RDO - A large open source project like OpenStack with almost 1000 active developers contributing code requires strong policies to gate proposed patches. This becomes particularly tricky in a cloud enviroment consisting of several decoupled projects, with a non trivial amount of external components as well. After a solid year of experience running the Nova and Neutron Hyper-V CI, during this session we'll present the tips and tricks that we developed to successfully run a multi-layered cloud whose management layer is based on CentOS and RDO.

Nicolae Critu & Catalin Costea:
Platform in a box - Deployment from virtual box to enterprise cloud - Our presentation will be about why and how we deploy our platform to a CentOS VirtualBox VM as well as to AWS or OpenStack + Ceph provider. Why and which AWS services we use. As going to the cloud is turmoil for most IT companies I think sharing our experience is valid learning.

Valentin Bud:
OpenNebula in Production - I will talk about the design process for a Cloud in production built with OpenNebula emphasising on the lessons learned from running this Cloud for the past year.

@Karanbir or @Ralph / @Tim - What would be your session proposal?

I'd say the expected audience would be DevOps focused.

The expected costs for the CentOS Dojo + OpenNebula TechDays are:
300 euro - Venue (http://www.business-centre.ro<http://www.business-centre.ro/>)
500 euro - Catering (for the 2nd day) + Coffee Breaks (both days)

If we split them among the 2 events, i'd say that about 66% will go towards the Dojo (being a full-day event), and about 34% towards the OpenNebula TechDays (being a 4-hour event, in the first day).

The costs are covered by Cloudbase Solutions and Unified Post equally. Can there be a mention of this on the Dojo wiki?

For the 6th speaker and possible tutorial sessions i will send an update as soon as i get a confirmation.

We can organise something to record the sessions, but if you have professional cameras and it's not a hassle to bring them, please do so.

Karanbir, can you put in place an Eventbrite page for registrations? Even if the event will be free, it makes sense to have a platform to keep track on the people who have registered.

Thanks,
Have a nice day!

from what I remember, the expected audience is more developer focused
rather than operations focused - is that still the case ? If so, we
should plan to cater to that audience.

Can we get everyone to submit their speaker proposals with an abstract
on the talk ? the focus needs to be on CentOS and user stories, or
technology onramp if possible.

if we have the time space, it might make sense to get a tutorial session
going as well.

Can you post the list of who is sponsoring what and what the overall
admin requirements are, and who is taking care of those.

Will there be some video kit available locally, or do we need to
organise something ?
