[opennms-announce] Upcoming OpenNMS Events

[Tarus B. <ta...@op...>]

Gang:

We have a lot of great events coming up in the next two months.

Next week is our fourth annual OpenNMS Users Conference Europe. There is
still time to sign up (until Friday) if you want to join us in Germany
for four days of classes and presentations:

We have also announced our next week-long training class to be held at
company headquarters in Pittsboro, NC, USA the week of 4-8 June:

Next, our seventh (wow) annual developers conference, Dev-Jam, will be
held in Minneapolis, MN, USA the last week in June.

If you develop on OpenNMS, this is a great way to spend a week with most
of the major contributors and to sharply hone your skills with respect
to the OpenNMS code.

And now for the big news, we are also announcing the first ever OpenNMS
Users Conference Americas to be held for three days starting 26 June:

Modeled on the European conference, the first day will consist of a
seminar (taught by yours truly) covering the basics of OpenNMS. The last
day will consist of a barcamp. This is an "unconference" where the
attendees set the agenda. We'll entertain suggestions for talks, vote on
them, and then present the most popular ones. With most of the
development team in attendance, pretty much any topic is up for grabs
and expect it to be addressed by experts.

The middle day is very special. It is a standard conference day that we
would like to use to focus on our community. That means you. We'll be
giving a roadmap presentation first thing, but then we'd love to fill
the day with presentations by you on how you use OpenNMS.

If you are interested, send an e-mail to the call for papers:
cf...@op... telling us what you'd like to talk about. If it gets
accepted, you'll receive a complementary conference pass. I wish I could
cover the air travel as well, but we will cover the conference, room and
board for our speakers.

Since I have your attention (I hope - sorry for the long e-mail) let me
take the opportunity to once again thank you for your business. Not only
do you make OpenNMS better by testing its limits, you make it possible.

Hope to see you in person soon.
