[OpenStack Foundation] OpenStack Foundation Tax Exempt Status
by Jonathan Bryce 28 Aug '15

28 Aug '15

Hi everyone, I'm very happy to report that after a lengthy process with the US Internal Revenue Service (IRS), including an initial denial and an appeal, the OpenStack Foundation has been granted 501c6 tax exempt status. This is clear recognition of the positive impact that our Foundation is having on the cloud computing industry. While it may seem like a small administrative matter, the long term impact is very positive for the efforts of the Foundation and the industry, allowing us to devote more resources to ensuring the cloud revolution is truly open to everyone. We also hope this outcome for our Foundation benefits other open source organizations pursuing tax exempt status with the IRS now and in the future. Thank you to everyone in the OpenStack community and the greater open source world who supported us through the process. Jonathan

Re: [OpenStack Foundation] [Diversity] OpenStack Diversity Working Group Meeting Thursday August 6 Recap
by Morales, Victor 11 Aug '15

Hi all, I just want to share a couple of findings about getting OpenStack data. Regarding consuming the Meetup API, it seems like the key used for authenticate that service is restricting the results of the search. I’ve opened a bug[1] in their portal to verify that functionality but I’m not sure if they have a SLA for answering those questions. If someone has an account in meetup from other country, I can provide the set of instructions to double-check my theory. By other hand, something that I found interesting is a web site[2] that takes screenshots of some sites. I used to understand the growing of OpenStack[3] and these are the results: Groups Members Interested Cities Countries 1/29/12 15 1,927 332 12 6 6/30/12 25 8,648 1,050 21 10 5/14/13 64 16,450 2,939 50 21 7/29/13 95 20,439 3,653 72 28 4/2/15 440 102,451 11,908 222 59 8/6/15 551 138,678 12,170 259 63 Regards, Victor Morales [1] https://github.com/meetup/api/issues/95 [2] http://web.archive.org/ [3] http://openstack.meetup.com/ From: Egle Sigler <egle.sigler(a)rackspace.com<mailto:egle.sigler@rackspace.com>> Date: Friday, August 7, 2015 at 5:47 PM To: "foundation(a)lists.openstack.org<mailto:foundation@lists.openstack.org>" <foundation(a)lists.openstack.org<mailto:foundation@lists.openstack.org>>, "women-of-openstack(a)lists.openstack.org<mailto:women-of-openstack@lists.openstack.org>" <women-of-openstack(a)lists.openstack.org<mailto:women-of-openstack@lists.openstack.org>> Subject: [OpenStack Foundation] [Diversity] OpenStack Diversity Working Group Meeting Thursday August 6 Recap Hello, Thanks everyone that joined us yesterday on IRC for our meeting.
