We at @credativde@mastodon.social are launching our very first & free open-source virtualization gathering in Germany, Mönchengladbach.

This new community event brings together everyone who’s passionate about open virtualization technologies, whether it’s Proxmox VE, XCP-ng, bhyve, Harvester, or any of the countless projects that make open infrastructure thrive. It’s about sharing experiences, learning from each other, and connecting with those who build and rely on open platforms every day.

We start the evening with two talks:

* "Enterprise-Ready? How people use Proxmox VE & Ceph" by Ronald Otto from Tuxis B.V.

* "BoxyBSD – Creating a free VPS hosting platform" by Florian Paul Azim Hoberg from credativ GmbH

Afterwards, the space opens up for discussion, networking, and casual chats. If you like to join with a talk, please feel free to reach out to me.
