At Community Over Code Europe 2024 in Bratislava, there was a room of “poster sessions” – something you may have experienced before at academic conferences. Various individuals or projects provided a poster covering some topic, and then spent some time there discussing it with anyone who was interested.
I spoke with Boris Stoyanov about his Cloudstack poster, and what’s going on with Cloudstack.
