OpenStack Days Korea
Event Preparation – Committee
Have a Separate Committee
. It REQUIRES “a full dedication”
. People cares more when they have “dedicated role”
. You can include “Others” to promote ”Participation”
- “Sponsors” can be an important part of Committee
- “Event Agency”, “Media”, “Government”, etc.
OpenStack Days Korea
Event Preparation – Venue/Date
Be Conservative – NO. 1 Cost Factor
. Lunch / No Lunch
. Venue can be an important Sponsorship Item
. Early Early Early Planning (Work w/ Community)
. Research on “When” is proper time for Sponsorship
- Avoid Financial Blackout Period among Sponsors
OpenStack Days Korea
Event Preparation – Sponsorship
Secure Contact Information
. Posting “Call For Sponsorship” does not work
. Be prepared before “Call For Sponsorship”
- Website
- Prospectus Document
- Contact Information
- Calculation (Need to know Total Estimate)
- Be ready to be “call center”
- Request “help” to Community
OpenStack Days Korea
Event Preparation – Call For Speaker
Do Early and Post Everywhere
. Balancing Sponsorship Talk vs. Community Talk
. Do not limit yourself
– OpenStack can be “many things”: Cloud, Network, Storage,
Container, Big Data, Machine Learning, Python, DevOps,
Automation, etc.
OpenStack Days Korea
After Event
. Post Videos on Foundation Channel
. Write Blog
. Event Report (for Sponsors / Community Members)
. Forget How Difficult It was, Only Good Memories 
OpenStack Days Korea
Things make me think these days
Community is getting more more diverse and active, but
Securing Sponsorship is getting a bit harder.
. Business Friendly Community – Pros and Cons
. What would be real fun in “Community”?
Don’t want to make someone burnt out from community work.
. Back to the Beginning
. Leveraging “this strong foundation”, let’s just follow where our
interest and fun goes.
