[OpenStack Foundation] Today's WSJ article
by Joshua McKenty 20 May '14

20 May '14

Board members et al, As usual, I am not a lawyer. However, given the overtones of antitrust concern in this article, if other board members and/or foundation staff feel that we should discuss this, I would ask that we schedule a quick board-coffee-meeting. We need to avoid any walking quorums, and we also need to instruct Jonathan and foundation staff with a clear response. This is not a topic where I feel it would be appropriate for Alan to represent the board. Joshua Sent from my iPhone

Jonathan, I wanted to thank you and your team for organizing the Summit. Great, successful job! Amazing growth since the last event. Accommodating 4,700 people is no easy task. Also a specific thank you to Lauren, Claire, Heather and Jacki for handling the logistics and room setup for the Board meeting, the Joint TC/Board meeting, the Gold member meeting and the breakfast with the board. Everything worked out great contributing to the success of our meetings, particularly the phone, food. You guys are spoiling us ;-) regards, AlanClark

Re: [OpenStack Foundation] Today's WSJ article <-- Alternatives to RHEL?
by Dave Nielsen 17 May '14

17 May '14

I'm no lawyer, but I think it would be hard to prove RHEL has a monopoly. Still, Red Hat has turned a reliance on RHEL by OpenStack customers into a clear liability for the rest of the OpenStack community. Rather taking Red Hat to court, it seems it would healthier to get serious about supporting a competitive alternative, or helping to create one.

Unfortunately, I am away that week but I fully support the initiative.

You are correct. I know we've pushed some of them, but I see some missing as well. I'll do a comparison and make sure they are up to date.

Hi, If I'm not mistaken, the bylaws published at http://www.openstack.org/legal/bylaws-of-the-openstack-foundation/ do not reflect some or all amendments made since the first board meeting. - Richard
