My team at Dell has been getting a great response from our community about Crowbar. Thanks! We’re actively working a rock solid OpenStack deployment that will raise the bar on ease of deploy and drive operational excellence.

We have also heard that we need to improve access to the team; consequently, I’m delighted to announce a long list of places and dates where you can access us online AND in person.

Here’s the list:

• Online:
  
  • Dell Tech Chat about Crowbar 11/8 @ 3pm CST with Rob Hirschfeld. I’ll be fielding questions about everything Crowbar, OpenStack, and Hadoop.  (missed it? transcript online)
    
  • Crowbar Listserv is always open (and lately very active)
    
• Austin:
  
  • Austin Cloud User Group 11/15 – Crowbar Deep Dive featuring Greg Althaus.
