Hi Jaesuk, Both of those options sound like great opportunities to do a Ceph Day Seoul. I think the main question is whether July is too soon for a Seoul event. It looks like COVID-19 may be peaking but it's a bit early to tell. Assuming things improve over the next few weeks I'd be all for moving forward with one or the other option. Do you have a preference which one? sage On Thu, 20 Feb 2020, Jaesuk Ahn wrote: > Dear Everyone, > > This is Jaesuk Ahn.

Due to COVID-19 we're not doing physical Ceph Day events, but now trying to research into doing virtual events. If you're still interested in organizing, please fill out this survey, thanks! https://survey.zohopublic.com/zs/jsCsIn On 2/27/20 12:58 AM, Jaesuk Ahn wrote: -- Mike Perez He/Him Ceph Community Manager Red Hat Los Angeles <https://www.redhat.com> thingee(a)redhat.com <mailto:thingee@redhat.com> M: 1-951-572-2633 <tel:1-951-572-2633> IM: IRC Freenode/OFTC: thingee 494C 5D25 2968 D361 65FB 3829 94BC D781 ADA8 8AEA @Thingee <https://twitter.com/thingee> <https://www.redhat.com> <https://redhat.com/summit>
