After one long year of waiting, finally the second ever OpenNebula Conf opens its Call for Papers again. Everybody who wants to join as a speaker can now propose a talk via the online form at opennebulaconf.com/papers

If you do so, you should definitely reserve a bit of time from December 2nd to 4th and check out flights to Berlin/Germany, because this is when and where cool things will happen! You should also check out Early-Bird-Tickets if you want to join us at the Conf ! They are available until the End of CfP .

We are looking forward to your talks and will come back to you by the end of CfP on July 15th.

We had a big response to the call for proposals. Thanks for submitting a talk proposal!. Although all submissions were of very high quality and merit, only a small amount of abstracts will be presented. The Lightning Talk Session provides a new opportunity to submit presentation proposals.

Do not forget to register as soon as possible since the number of places is limited. There is still time to take advantage of our early registration offer, which expires at the end of June. You can also take advantage of the available sponsorship opportunities which are a great chance to present your company with the leading open source datacenter virtualization solution.
