Hello everyone,

We had our first official meetup in Hyderabad yesterday, 1 Nov 2012, at Lem=
on Tree, Hyderabad. We had a small keynote on CloudStack with the local Had=
oop User Group a month ago on CloudStack (http://people.apache.org/~bhaisaa=
b/meetups/sep-2012/), but this time it was totally focussed on CloudStack.

The meetup keynotes started at 5PM and ended at 7:20PM, followed by about a=
n hour of networking and discussions, and t-shirts for everyone. It was att=
ended by 134 people and organised by 7 people including Nitin, Kishan, Pras=
anna, Bidisha, Sadhu, Praveen, Hari P.

We started by welcoming the attendees and showing them an introductory vide=
o about Apache CloudStack (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3DoJ4b8HFmFTc&fea=
ture=3Dplcp) and did a poll to find out that all of them have heard of clou=
d computing, most of them use or are going to use cloud or are excited to l=
earn about it. Most of the crowd rated themselves as users, some managers a=
nd some engineers. Most of them use open source technologies on daily basis=
 and there were few who contribute to open source.

Kevin Kluge spoke on building your own IaaS cloud with Apache CloudStack an=
d gave a small demo on same; followed by a brief keynote by Prasanna on ASF=
 and the community participation; followed by the last presentation by Chir=
ag Jog on migrating applications to the IaaS clouds which had some good use=
 cases and interesting examples.

We would like to thank all our speakers, attendees, and organizers who made=
 the event a success.

All the presentations and photos are downloadable from the following:

 the link soon.

Please feel free to comment, share your thoughts, suggestions and blog. Tha=
nks.
