Ben Reuss, OpenSRS

We are delighted to be once again sponsoring the Parallels EMEA Partner Forum after a very successful and fun show last year. We are hoping you can join us this year. Ben Reuss, our Business Development Manager (EMEA) will be in each city and looks forward to greeting you.

The Parallels EMEA Partner Forum takes place in six locations across Europe from October 12-28. It is great opportunity to learn how to leverage Parallels technology to enable new Cloud Services, and how to become a “one-stop” shop for customers.  These are all one-day events followed by a networking cocktail hour.

Here are the cities and dates:

  • Munich (October 12)
  • Amsterdam (October 14)
  • Madrid (October 19)
  • Warsaw (October 21)
  • Paris (October 26)
  • London (October 28)

Registration for this event is free, so come out and say hi. Visit our events page to learn more or to register.

Heart and Determination from the Gateshead RFC Rugby Team

I wanted to send a quick shout out to our very own Marco Zuliani and the Gateshead RFC Rugby team from Tyne and Wear, England. As you can see from the jerseys in the photo below, OpenSRS has sponsored the team, but the heart and determination comes from Marco and his teammates.

Marco’s love of Rugby serves a dual purpose: the games and practices are a great way to deal with the pressure of managing our OpenSRS EMEA (Europe, Middle East, Africa) region while simultaneously supporting the local sporting community.

The connection between Rugby and OpenSRS

Another interesting link between Rugby and OpenSRS is the term “Scrum”. As you may have seen us mention a few times on the blog and in the forums, OpenSRS uses a variant of Agile development called “Scrum” as our software development process.

How are they doing?

As of last week, Gateshead RFC had just won a game (28-7), and last weekend there was a semi final cup game for the North-East National Title. That sounds pretty good to us!

We’ll be following up with Marco upon his return from WebhostingDay in Germany to get an update on the standings.

Can you spot Marco?

Some of you are well acquainted with our EMEA team and know Marco well. Just for fun: If you’re the first person to spot Marco in the team photo, we’ll send you one of our spiffy new OpenSRS sports tees. Just leave a comment below with Marco’s position in the team photo.

Please join us in wishing Marco and his team the best of luck this season!

Thanks to Gateshead RFC for the pictures.

Last month we attended the cPanel Conference and we are happy to announce our prize winner. Congrats to Lenny from Codero for winning our iPod shuffle. This year’s conference was the biggest cPanel conference yet with over 180 attendee registrations and with folks traveling in from all over the world. It was a fun and educational environment, and a must-attend event for cPanel users! Thanks to the organizers for a great conference and also to everyone that stopped by our booth to say hello.

With another successful WHIR networking event taking place last week in Seattle, that wraps up our OpenSRS events schedule for the year. However, we are already busy planning for next year. I wanted to tell you about about a couple of exciting conferences that are coming up in the new year.

Parallels Summit 2010 – February 22-24

fountainebleauI don’t think you’ll be disappointed with the Parallels Summit 2010 new venue – the iconic Fontainebleau Miami Beach Resort. The Parallels Summit gives you a chance to meet industry peers and get inspired to build better Cloud Services based businesses. The Parallels Summit has become the premier conference for industry leaders to discuss how to drive innovation, create differentiated service offerings, and build businesses that profit from the Cloud.

The conference is free for Parallels’ partners, customers, invited guests, and other industry professionals. If you register before November 13, 2009 you’ll be entered to win your choice of an iPod Touch or Microsoft Zune HD.

WebhostingDay 2010 – March 17-19

dsc04943WebhostingDay is the largest web hosting event in Europe and possibly the world. Last year they had 2,000 attendees.  It takes place in Phantasialand, an amusement park near Cologne, Germany. It offers a great mix of concentrated industry knowledge, networking events, and fun!  Check out some of our WebhostingDay 2009 coverage. We will have free conference passes, and we’ll let you know how to register with them in the coming months.

We are really hoping that some of you are planning to attend these conferences not only because they are some of the best in our industry, but also because there is nothing better than connecting with our resellers, partners and industry peers face-to-face. As we get closer to these events, we will keep you posted. Follow us on  twitter for event updates.

The OpenSRS team attended HostingCon 2009 last month in Washington DC. Since then we’ve been a little busy preparing for the Parallels EMEA Roadshow which is now in full-swing. However, we wanted to take a few moments to thank everyone that we met this year. We hope some of you had a chance to drop by our booth and pick up some old fashioned stick-candy, and maybe even one of our spiffy new “Service Guy’” toys which we debuted at HostingCon 2009.

This year we had a group of fourteen OpenSRS folks attending and we were able to meet many resellers, prospects, partners, and industry leaders. We also launched our brand new sub-resellers program. Adam Eisner, our Director of Domain Services, presented “20 Ways to Outsmart Your Competitors.” Did you miss it? No problem. You can download Adam’s slides from our HostingCon follow-up page.

Announcing the winner of the Dell Adamo laptop!Eduardo

As well, we are very pleased to announce the winner of our booth give-away! Congratulations to Eduardo from Hosting Panama the lucky winner of a really cool Dell Adamo laptop!
