These days cloud, be it public or private seems to common platform for everyone and containers are slowly becoming unit of execution. \u00a0There are few conferences which are dedicated on these topics which bring people together. This idea is on similar lines but the quest is whether can we do a conference which driven by the community ?<\/p>\n<p>Last year <a href=\"http:\/\/wp.neependra.net\/?p=1762\">Docker and DevOps<\/a>\u00a0meetup group did a joint one day meetup, for which we received good feedback. By doing such a joint meetup we can extend it to mini-conference but there are few questions which arise :-<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Who would provide the venue ?<\/li>\n<li>What if we announce the conference, sell few tickets but don&#8217;t have enough fund to pull it off ?<\/li>\n<li>What if we don&#8217;t find the sponsors ?<\/li>\n<li>etc..<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Can we play safe here ? May be Yes !!! With discussion with some of the other meetup organiser we thought of following:-<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/neependra.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Containers-and-DevOps-community-event-4.png\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2125 size-large aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/neependra.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Containers-and-DevOps-community-event-4.png?resize=450%2C640\" alt=\"containers-and-devops-community-event-4\" width=\"450\" height=\"640\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/neependra.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Containers-and-DevOps-community-event-4.png?resize=720%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 720w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/neependra.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Containers-and-DevOps-community-event-4.png?resize=211%2C300&amp;ssl=1 211w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/neependra.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Containers-and-DevOps-community-event-4.png?resize=768%2C1093&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/neependra.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Containers-and-DevOps-community-event-4.png?resize=1079%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 1079w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/neependra.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Containers-and-DevOps-community-event-4.png?w=1083&amp;ssl=1 1083w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ll open-up 200 registration in the beginning and then ask\u00a0people to pay 200 per ticket. 200 registrations because that\u00a0is what we can accommodate in a meetup, if event does not\u00a0happen. We are charging some money to make sure participant is really interested.<\/p>\n<p>Once 200 people are signed up we can go to companies for\u00a0sponsoring the venue. The company can pay us or directly to the venue\/event management.\u00a0If we don&#8217;t get the sponsorship \u00a0then we&#8217;ll just to a meetup \u00a0as usual. Whatever money we collected so far, we can give\u00a0that back in prizes during the meetup.<\/p>\n<p>Sounds\u00a0good ?? This is just a concept now. Lets see if we can take it forward in next week or so.
