>Thank you to all of the community members who contributed to the report,<br>
>and to Heidi Joy for putting it together. The report includes key stats,<br>
>as well as updates from the Board of Directors, Foundation staff,<br>
>Technical Committee, Board Committees and Working Groups. We had a busy<br>
>year in 2016, and it¹s great to see our collective efforts documented.<br>
><br>
>2016 was a big year for OpenStack. We had our most substantial software<br>
>releases, our best-attended Summits, our broadest set of global OpenStack<br>
>Days, reached our largest footprint of public cloud providers, and<br>
>learned about bigger deployments and projects using OpenStack. We saw<br>
>organizations as varied as AT&T, Volkswagen Group, China Mobile, Banco<br>
>Santander, and Cambridge University give keynote presentations about<br>
>driving innovation with the software our community develops. And we saw<br>
>new companies invest in our community, especially from China and the<br>
>telecom sector. We started to see the power of the ³one platform² concept<br>
>with virtualization, bare metal and containers working together to run<br>
>versatile workloads. From the OpenStack and Kubernetes demos in Austin to<br>
>the OpenStack and OPNFV telecom demo in Barcelona, we saw how<br>
>collaboration and technology integrations deliver practical value.<br>
><br>
>But 2016 was also a year of changes in the industry and in our community,<br>
>whether it be emerging technologies or shifts in the ecosystem. As we<br>
>look forward to 2017, more change is on the horizon and collaboration<br>
>within our community and beyond is more important than ever. The way we<br>

>role OpenStack plays in the future of IT. With a strong, diverse<br>
>community and clear mission, there¹s nothing we can¹t achieve together.<br>
><br>
>Today we kick off 2017 with the first Board meeting, in which we'll seat<br>
>new members from the recent election. We look forward to supporting and<br>
