Coté Memo #6 - OpenStack, big cloud transformation

The OpenStack Summit was pretty good stuff. Coming up next week is DevOpsDays Austin where I’ll be speaking on Tuesday and staffing the table. I’m then off to the Agile and Beyond conference to talk better ways of doing software and unicorns. Hopefully I’ll see y'all around, otherwise, keep apprised of the Twitters for any hijinks.

Promos, ads, discount codes

Rather than subject you to a big text block of ads and such - and save myself from typing it all the time - I put all the conference discount codes and ads I have on one page: http://cote.io/promos. Right now you can get discounts to two DevOpsDays conferences, OSCON in Austin, and the Cloud Foundry Summit next month. There’s also some deals from Pivotal.

Go get your free and cheap stuff!
