It’s an interesting read for its analysis of the potential impact on VMware. </div><div><br></div><div>Both articles say that PayPal is contributing code to OpenStack. So, it appears that they have an in-house effort rather than buying some one’s distro. However, that is a guess since contributing code doesn’t preclude PayPal from also using someone’s distro or Mirantis from helping them via consulting. </div><div><br></div><div>All,</div><div>Does anybody have inside scoop? </div><div><div><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><br></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;
