Need stats, topics & speakers

[Schlomo Schapiro]

Hello present and past devopsdays organizers,

as the dates for most events seem to be set, I would like to write a news item about devopsdays (e.g. at http://www.infoq.com/devops but maybe also elsewhere). I believe that devopsdays managed to become one of the - if not the - most important DevOps events and would like to back up this thesis with hard data.

I can imagine that there are still a lot of people out there who never heard about devopsdays and who could benefit from some help to convince their boss that they should be allowed to go.

If you agree with this, could you please send me information like:
* stats about the development and growth of the events (events per year, # speakers, # attendants (and recurring), # events per year, sponsoring, media coverage ...)
* 2013 trends, topics and keynote speakers

Hope to see you all in Berlin.

Kind Regards,
Schlomo

Hi Schlomo,

thanks for the initiative! I guess I can get most of the info to you.
I'll contact you offline to get it started.
