Dublin PTG Schedule is Up

PTG schedule is available [0]. A lot of rooms are available Monday/Tuesday to discuss additional topics that take half a day and can be requested [1]. For small things (90 min discussions) we can book them dyncamically during the event with the new PTG bot features. Follow the thread for updates to the schedule [2].

Last Chance for PTG Dublin Tickets

PTG tickets for Dublin were sold out this week, and the Foundation received many requests for more tickets. Working with the venue to accommodate the extra capacity, every additional attendee incrementally increases costs to $600. It’s understood the importance of this event and the need to have key team members present, so the OpenStack Foundation has negotiated an additional 100 tickets and will partially subsidize to be at sold at $400 [0].
