Hi Everyone,
The OpenStack Foundation collaborates with Linux Foundation's Collaborate Project, OPNFV, on a number of projects related to NFV. I would like to introduce you to the OPNFV marketing lead, Brandon Wick (bwick@linuxfoundation.org). OPNFV and OpenStack developer communities share many members and work across projects using similar processes to meet specific user requirements and advocate new NFV features.
The OPNFV team is very interested in speaking about OPNFV at various OpenStack Day events around the world.
We believe that Telecom & NFV is one of the fastest growing areas for OpenStack, and Network Functions Virtualization (NFV), is a technology that is transforming the network. Some of the world’s largest global telecommunications companies are exploring and implementing OPNFV and OpenStack for their NFV implementations, including AT&T, China Mobile Ltd, NTT DOCOMO INC, Orange, SK Telecom, and Telecom Italia.
If you are not familiar with OPNFV (https://www.opnfv.org/), it is a carrier-grade, integrated, open source platform that facilitates the introduction of new NFV products and services. It's built on widespread collaboration across many telecommunications providers and enterprises, integrates the work of standards bodies, open source communities and commercial suppliers to deliver a functional, standard NFV platform.
For more information, please take a look at OPNFV and OpenStack Community wiki page (https://wiki.opnfv.org/display/COM/OpenStack) and the OpenStack NFV white paper (http://www.openstack.org/assets/telecoms-and-nfv/OpenStack-Foundation-NFV-Report.pdf).
If your are interested in having an OPNFV speaker at your OpenStack Day event, please feel free to reach out directly to Brandon directly.
Let me know if you have any questions or need any additional information.
Best regards,
Denise
