      What Is VMware Up To With OpenStack?
      <http://cloudarchitectmusings.com/2013/12/18/what-is-vmware-up-to-with-openstack/>

As a former vSphere and now OpenStack Architect, Kenneth Hui
<http://cloudarchitectmusings.com/> has been following with much
interest the courtship ritual that VMware has been performing with the
OpenStack project.  Dan Wendlandt <https://twitter.com/danwendlandt> and
the entire OpenStack Team at VMware has been busy courting the OpenStack
community at various venues, including the recent OpenStack Summit.  For
the Grizzly release, VMware began contributing code to integrate vSphere
with OpenStack; the code contribution has steadily increased both in
quantity and in scope moving into Havana and continuing into the
upcoming Icehouse release. His views are based on his experience working
with VMware and their products and observing their involvement in the
OpenStack community (he doesn’t work at Vmware nor has any special
inside knowledge).
