July Meetup: OpenStack 5th Birthday Party!

OpenStack is turning 5 years old and we're throwing a party to celebrate. Come out and send your birthday greetings to OpenStack with us!

We'll have doorprizes to give away, a free finely crafted beer brewed on premises at Fortnight Brewing (http://fortnightbrewing.com/) for everyone courtesy of the OpenStack Foundation (https://www.openstack.org/foundation), a look back at 5 years of OpenStack, special 5th birthday laptop stickers, and more! Pizza from the Mellow Mushroom (http://mellowmushroom.com/store/cary) will arrive around 6:00-6:30pm. And of course: there will be cake!

Make sure you've RSVP'd and check in at the table near the door when you arrive to receive your free drink ticket and other goodies (additional drinks can be purchased for $3-$5). If you're still hungry after noshing on pizza, Dump Pho King (http://dumpphokingtruck.com/) will be onsite as well with tasty treats from $5-$8! Be sure to snap some photos and be prepared to sing Happy Birthday to OpenStack.
