Open Stack

We tried to register for an OpenStack BOF at Supercomputing 2012 this year and were turned down.  How is OpenStack vendor specific?   Being rejected makes no sense to me considering they had BOFs on BlueGene, Cray XMT, and CoArray Fortran last year.  <grumble> The same 25 people will attend the CoArray Fortran BOF this year and their average age is probably 70. </grumble>

Is anyone aware of any SC12 sessions that we might crash?  Discuss it on openstack-hpc list!

Comments for Authors:
The presentation will inform attendees of the current state of HPC OpenStack, followed by a discussion between the attendees to describe missing/desired features, state of the art, potential opportunities, etc.

Previous BoFs were very successful.

Review of bof214s1 by Reviewer 2	top

Comments for Authors:
The high-level questions and goals of this BoF are laudable. However, the focus here is purely on OpenStack. Due to the very narrow scope/focus of this BoF, this reviewer does not believe this is "community" enough to be a BoF and should be therefore placed under a vendor program.
