Open Stack

Thank you Dave!

I am really excited about this, I think it will help grow the OpenStack community and benefit OpenStack ecosystem in so many ways. I cannot wait for the 2 1000 node clusters to go live and be available for large scale testing!

Hi Egle,

This is going to be fantastic for the community - we're finding a number of Enterprise ISVs that want to support OpenStack but don't have the resources/expertise to build/test at scale.   The Innovation Center offers a HUGE head start for those folks. It would be interesting, as you get closer to launch, to hear what the demand looks like. That will help us dial-up/dial-down our grassroots marketing :-D

Thanks for the note!

Hello OpenStack Community,

I am very excited to let you know that today Rackspace and Intel announced our plans to form the "OpenStack Innovation Center," which is an exciting community-oriented initiative focused on accelerating the enterprise features and adoption of OpenStack.  This initiative includes:


·      Largest OpenStack Developer Cloud - We are building and making available to the community two 1,000 node clusters to support advanced, large-scale and testing of OpenStack.  The clusters should be available to the community within six months and you can sign up here<http://goo.gl/forms/vCkfNBmXm4> to receive updates on this effort.

·      OpenStack Developer Training - We are creating a new training curriculum designed to onboard and significantly increase the number of developers working upstream in the community.

·      Joint OpenStack Engineering - Rackspace and Intel developers will work together in collaboration with the Enterprise Work Group and community to eliminate bugs and develop new enterprise features.  Both companies will recruit new developers to help further OpenStack development.

·      OpenStack Innovation Center - The center will be comprised of Rackspace and Intel developers who will work upstream, using existing community tools and processes to improve the scalability, manageability and usability of OpenStack.
