FOSDEM and SCALE are respectively Europe and North America's biggest FOSS events and, of course, we'd love to run a booth there again. We had a good time last year, just check out see my overview blog and detailed blogs about FOSDEM and SCALE. It is time to start preparing again to have as much fun and impact as last year!
My experience from last year was that many use ownCloud (and love it). These users often are interested in hearing and seeing what is coming, so I usually have a demo machine with me.
People new to ownCloud are almost invariably very interested and you can help them get started.
Note that you don't need any particularly deep insight in ownCloud to be able to help. For people new to ownCloud, a general overview of how it is for you as a user is already a huge help and we always have people around who can help with the harder questions.
Besides the booth, it'd be great if we get some talks in at various ownCloud-related devrooms, like the decentralization room and such. See some info on this page and stay tuned for the announcements of the devrooms.
For SCALE, too, we'll try to get us a booth again and we do expect it to be very well visited just like last year. SCALE is a very cool event with many friendly folks. It surprised me how many people already knew about ownCloud but there were still hundreds we could delight with the knowledge a real free solution exists for their cloudy needs. We can really use some hands with this!
And like with FOSDEM - you don't need to be an ownCloud expert to be able to help out. Being able to explain the concept from the users' point of view is the most important thing!
I'll shoot in a talk or two but - if you have anything you'd like to talk about, SCALE, too, has a call for papers open.
For both events we have the ability to help you with travel and hotel costs if need be. Just contact me directly about that and we can figure things out!
ownCloud needs you!
FOSDEM
For FOSDEM we will request a booth again and like last year I am sure it will be very well visited so we need help talking to the visitors!My experience from last year was that many use ownCloud (and love it).

SCALE
The 14th SCALE moves to a new location, promising to be bigger and better than ever. I sure want to be at that epic first in a new venue and so should you!For SCALE, too, we'll try to get us a booth again and we do expect it to be very well visited just like last year.
