Open Stack

As an OSIC casualty, I want to thank Lauren for organizing this.  While
being hit by layoffs is extremely unpleasant, it's really awesome how
supportive the OpenStack community has been--reaching out with job
leads, offering general commiseration, as well as this practical effort
to get us to the Boston Summit.  I like working on OpenStack because we
are tackling challenging problems and producing quality software, but
also because OpenStack is a real community of developers working toward
a common goal.

cheers,
brian

PS: I should give my special thanks to Lauren, I think I may have used
up her frequent flyer miles.

Community members could offer up some of our personal frequent flyer miles to sponsor flights for these Stackers. I’d love to be the first...if you were laid off and need sponsorship for a flight, I’m willing to sponsor a round trip domestic flight or one-way international flight with my miles. Contact me.
