Open Stack

Hi everyone,

The Foundation’s 2020 annual report is now available. 

The Open Infrastructure community had a productive and successful year in spite of the unprecedented global challenges in 2020. Together with the 60+ organizations who joined the launch of the Open Infrastructure Foundation and over 110,000 community members, we are starting the next decade of open infrastructure tackling challenges including hardware diversification, deployment diversification, government regulations like data sovereignty, and the availability of more open source than ever.

Each community member, working group, SIG, and contributor was instrumental in continuing to support the Open Infrastructure Foundation's mission: building open source communities that write software to run in production. The 2020 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 OpenStack Foundation took the next step in its ongoing evolution by becoming the Open Infrastructure Foundation to support open infrastructure for a market estimated at $20 billion USD.
	• Over 60 global organizations joined in establishing the Open Infrastructure Foundation to build the next decade of infrastructure for AI, 5G and edge computing, including 9 Platinum Members: Ant Group, AT&T, Ericsson, Facebook, FiberHome, Huawei, Red Hat, Wind River and Tencent.
	• OpenStack, one of the top three most active open source projects with 15 million cores in production, marked its 10th anniversary in July 2020.
	• The OpenInfra Foundation announced its support for the Magma project, confirmed OpenInfra Labs as its newest pilot project and StarlingX as a top-level Open Infrastructure project. 
	• The OpenInfra community became more accessible internationally through the first virtual Open Infrastructure Summit that gathered 10,000 attendees from 120+ different countries to discuss more than 30 open source projects.

The OpenInfra Foundation would like to extend a huge thanks to the global community for all of the work that went into 2020 and is continuing in 2021 to help people build and operate open infrastructure.
