Minimal OpenStack

Interested in Cloud? Heard of this OpenStack thing and want to get your hands dirty? Concerned that it's too confusing for mere mortals? It's not, and in just a couple of hours you too can have a cloud in your basement.

Sean Dague, president and founder of MHVLUG, and long standing contributor to OpenStack, will take you through the journey of building such a minimal OpenStack for home or small business use. He'll go through the minimum configuration needed to get started, explaining how the components work together. How to start small and grow as your needs expand over time. And touch on some of the rest of the OpenStack ecosystem that you might want to pull in later.

MHVLUG returns to Rockefeller Hall for the 2015-2016 Vassar Academic year. The best parking on site is the north lot of campus, which is accessible off of Collegeview Ave in Poughkeepsie. Once you are parked in the north lot walk south along North Drive. Rockefeller Hall is on the right, somewhat set back, as you walk down the main stretch. Enter the hall and go to the third floor. Room 300 is at the top of the stairs. The room will be open at 5pm, and people are welcome to come early. When in doubt, use the map for reference.
