Hi Greg,

Noted, thank you.

I will reach out to my contact at Equinix and check what they have available. I will copy you as well in case they have follow up questions.

Thanks,
Ildikó

>> Hi StarlingX Community,
>> 
>> On last week’s Community Call the idea came up to run the StarlingX Hands-on workshop at the upcoming OpenInfra Summit again.
>> 
>> Background: community members used to run a hands-on workshop at OpenInfra Summits and other in-person events to show people how to deploy the platform and get started with the UI. The attendees really liked and appreciated these sessions.
>> 
>> The goal of running the workshop again is to raise awareness of the project and help people with getting started with StarlingX.
>> 
>> 
>> I checked and we have a room where the community could reserve a ~2-hour slot. We can update the content of the workshop to provide the best experience to attendees to learn more about and get more comfortable with the latest version of the platform.
>> 
>> The past workshops were running on Equinix HW that was donated to the community by the company. While that infrastructure is currently not available, their offer to provide the community with HW for purposes like this still stands. I will reach out to them once the community confirms to run the workshop in vancouver.
>> 
>> 
>> What do you all think? Who would be interested in helping out with building and running the workshop?
>> 
>> @Greg: Can you provide information about HW needs?
>> 
>> Thanks and Best Regards,
>> Ildikó
