Dear Fellow Cephalopods, Cephalocon 2024 hosted by CERN is just around the corner! In case you missed it, the full schedule is now live: https://events.linuxfoundation.org/cephalocon/ The Program Committee received a record-breaking 176 submissions, carefully selecting 60 speakers to present an exciting lineup. Attendees will have the chance to dive into the latest updates from Ceph Developers and engage with fellow users. We're thrilled to report that registration is approaching our target of 300 attendees, and interest is higher than anticipated! Our hosts are working hard to accommodate even more participants. If you haven't registered yet and plan to join us, don't delay---secure your spot today! Additionally, two pre-Cephalocon events are open for attendees: - New to Ceph? Join the Ceph New Users Workshop - https://indico.cern.ch/e/ceph-new-users-workshop It’s a great opportunity for beginners to get up to speed. - Experienced Ceph User? Participate in the Power Users afternoon session at the Developers Summit - https://indico.cern.ch/e/ceph-developer-summit These pre-events are free but require a valid Cephalocon registration. We look forward to seeing you there! Warm regards, Dan, on behalf of the Cephalocon Organizers -- Dan van der Ster CTO @ CLYSO
