[OpenStack Foundation] 2019 OSF Annual Report Now Available
by Mark Collier 28 Jan '20

28 Jan '20

The OSF community had a productive year, merging 58k code changes to produce open source infrastructure software like Airship, Kata Containers, StarlingX, and Zuul, along with the third most active OSS project in the world, OpenStack. With 100,000 members and millions more visiting OSF websites in 2019 to get involved, the community made huge strides in addressing the 7.7B market for OpenStack and more than $12B combined OpenStack & Containers markets in the future. Each individual member, working group, SIG, and contributor was instrumental in continuing to support the OSF mission: helping people build and operate open infrastructure. The OSF 2019 Annual Report <https://www.openstack.org/foundation/2019-openstack-foundation-annual-report>was published today highlighting the achievements across the community and the goals for the year ahead. Let’s break down some of the highlights of last year: The OSF confirmed three new open infrastructure projects to complement OpenStack in powering the world’s open infrastructure; OpenStack is one of the top three most active open source projects in number of changes, and is projected to be a $7.7 billion USD market by 2023; Some of the world’s largest brands—AT&T, Baidu, Blizzard Entertainment, BMW, China UnionPay, Walmart, and Volvo among others—shared their open source infrastructure use cases and learnings; Upstream contributors continued to prioritize cross-project integration with open source projects including Ceph, Kubernetes, Ansible, and Tungsten Fabric. New contributors were on-boarded through multiple internship and mentoring programs as well as OpenStack Upstream Institute, which was held in seven countries last year! The OSF would like to extend a huge thanks to the global community for all of the work that went into 2019 and is continuing in 2020 to help people build and operate open source infrastructure. Check out the full OSF 2019 Annual Report <https://www.openstack.org/foundation/2019-openstack-foundation-annual-report>on the OpenStack website!

[OpenStack Foundation] 2020 Individual Director election results
by Jonathan Bryce 17 Jan '20

17 Jan '20

Hello everyone, The 2020 election of Individual Directors has closed. Results are available at the following link: https://www.bigpulse.com/pollresults?code=1338359VtsEcNjkcLPQzmrUneDW Dell EMC was selected last week as a Gold Director Selector. The Individual voting resulted in two additional Dell EMC affiliated candidates being ranked within the top eight candidates. The additional two candidates would violate the Director Diversity requirements of our Bylaws that limit any individual company to only two Directors on the Board. The Bylaws state in 4.17(c) "No director may take office if the addition of the director would cause a violation of the Director Diversity Requirement…. If the new director is elected by the Individual Members, then the individual having the next highest number of votes whose admission would not cause a violation of the Director Diversity Requirement shall be become the new director instead of the individual whose election would cause a violation of the Director Diversity Requirement.” Following these rules, Kurt Garloff takes the final spot on the Board. The elected and appointed directors will be seated at the Board meeting at the end of January. Congratulations to our new and returning directors!
