Howdy Eric, glad to see you here on the Pure Community site, and thanks for the original Reddit post.
As a huge technology geek who has done a few things with FlashStack over the years, and having the fantastic opportunity to get some geek cred with contributing to a dozen CVDs, this will be a fantastic conversation for us to be able to have at the conference.
I had just mentioned the Reddit thread to my co-workers as we were chatting about out breakout session around this topic (Who's Driving Virtualization? Navigating this New Landscape), and we were worried that we'd need a way to continue Q&A and conversation since we all could talk for hours about the topic.
We thought we could just hang around afterwards since we're at the end of the day, and I mentioned the Reddit thread about the impromptu community event maybe happening at some point... then a calendar invite popped up to an official event.
Now our team of Allynz , rquimbey, and myself will get to have a session all about the alternatives for everyone to consider, and we get to bring everyone over to come have a great community meetup for more people to participate and help each other out, plus the bonus of just networking and having fun.
So thanks for posting the original idea, and thanks to Ludes and team for the amazing quick response to the community to bring this together. I'm glad that I'm at Accelerate early to help do some setup, because I think I may owe our events & community teams a few extra hours with push broom for pulling this off in 2 weeks...!!!
