While you're in Boston, consider taking a little extra time in Beantown to take advantage of Mirantis Training's special Pre-Summit training, which includes a bonus introduction module on the Mirantis Cloud Platform (MCP).  You'll get to the summit up to speed with the technology, and even (if you pass the exam) the OCM100 OpenStack certification.  Can't make it to Boston?  You can also take the pre-summit class live from the comfort of your own home (or office).
