OpenStack Australia Day
by Roland Chan 27 Jan '16

27 Jan '16

Hi All, Aptira and the Foundation are hosting the inaugural OpenStack Australia Day in Sydney and we're in the process of organising speakers and sponsorship. As leading organisations in the OpenStack sphere, I thought some of you or your organisations might be interested in participating, especially since Sydney is such a nice place to visit, even in autumn. Focusing on Open Source cloud technology, the aim of this conference is to gather industry users, vendors and solution providers to showcase the latest technologies and share real-world experiences of the next wave of IT virtualisation. OpenStack Australia Day will showcase a range of sessions on the broader cloud and Software Defined Infrastructure ecosystem including OpenStack, containers, PaaS and automation. The conference also features keynote presentations from industry leading figures, workshops and a networking event for a less formal opportunity to engage with the community. The event will be held on the 5th of May at The Menzies in Sydney, and we have a range of sponsorship levels available, if you're interested in being involved. We are also looking for speakers to present at the conference - anything from a presentation to a workshop or panel, we’re quite flexible at this stage. For more information, feel free to check out the OpenStack Australia Day 2016 website: http://australiaday.openstack.org.au/ or contact me directly. We look forward to having you involved in the first OpenStack conference down under! Cheers, Roland

Thanks! I had a great time on the board

OpenStack Board, It's been a privilege serving with you and excited to see bring Allison uses her considerable open source experience into the fold. I believe that interoperability remains a critical factor for OpenStack; in fact, I'm shifting my focus to even broader cross-platform interoperability because I see that as a key to open cloud success. I encourage the board to look at interop as building a broader ecosystem than just within the project boundaries. This is not an OpenStack challenge alone but it is our opportunity to be true open software leaders. I'm happy to talk about this (or any topic!) with you individually. Thanks for the great years together. Rob -- Rob Hirschfeld RackN.com, CEO & Founder @zehicle, 512-773-7522

[OpenStack Foundation Board] Canonical Board Member Change
by John Zannos 11 Jan '16

11 Jan '16

Alan, Jonathan and the Board, After 3 years with the OpenStack Board, I will be stepping away as Canonical's Board representative. It has been a fantastic 3 years, and I have enjoyed the opportunity to help the OpenStack Foundation and Community grow. I will still be very involved in the OpenStack Foundation as part of Canonical and a community member. Mark Baker at Canonical will be my replacement. Mark is copied on this email and I am sure you will find him a great successor. Thank you again for all the great challenges, debates, ideas and teamwork. Best, John John Zannos Vice President - Alliances / Business Development Canonical / Ubuntu john.zannos(a)canonical.com +1 978 375 0742 IRC: jzannos www.ubuntu.com | www.canonical.com
