Rackspace Board Representation Change
by Brian Stein 20 Feb '19

20 Feb '19

All: It’s pretty remarkable to see how far this group has pushed the Foundation in my short time serving as Rackspace’s board representative. Unfortunately all good things must come to an end! My colleague Andy Cathrow will be taking over. He has a long history with OpenStack, including launching and overseeing Red Hat’s offerings. I’m confident he’ll be an excellent addition. Keep up the good work! Brian

by KATHIRVEL, KANDAN 14 Jan '19

14 Jan '19

Board Members and Foundation Staff, I am hereby notifying you all that my tenure in representing AT&T at the OpenStack Board of Directors is coming to an end. My Company is expecting me to work on other strategic opensource technology areas. Ryan Van Wyk will be taking my spot as the AT&T Board of Directors appointee as of today. I've copied Ryan here. Ryan is an AVP and responsible for the development of Airship and OpenStack within AT&T. He will be a helpful liaison to all our various implementations of OpenStack & other OSF Projects. Working with you all and the OpenStack community over the last several years has been a tremendously rewarding experience for me, especially given the context of OpenStack’s unprecedented growth and evolution in SDN, NFV, Edge Computing and hosting OSF level projects. I thank you for all your hard work, support, friendship and collaboration over my time on the board. I will continue to support and engage on the community efforts wherever possible. Thank you again. Regards Kandan Kathirvel AT&T

Hi everyone, Thank you again for a great OpenStack Summit in Berlin! We wanted to share a few takeaways, including strong press coverage and a new consolidated presentation (based on the board meeting slides) that might be useful for your team. New, consolidated OpenStack Foundation deck is now available - diagrams, pilot project overview slides, trends and OpenStack users. (Please email me directly if you need a PPT or PDF version.) More than 50 press & analysts attended the Berlin Summit, and we received some great coverage. You can find a sampling below, or the full list in our tracking document here.

New for the Open Infrastructure Summit Denver: We’ve evolved the brand to Open Infrastructure Summit to recognize our diverse audience and signal to the market that this is the conference for IT infrastructure decision makers, people who run and build open infrastructure. That means in addition to OpenStack, you’ll see the new pilot projects —including Airship, Kata Containers, StarlingX and Zuul —alongside open source projects like Kubernetes, Ansible, Docker, Cloud Foundry and many more. We’re co-locating the Summit & Project Teams Gathering. The Summit will run Monday - Wednesday, and the Project Teams Gathering will run Thursday - Saturday.

Call to develop the confirmation guidelines
by Alan Clark 26 Nov '18

26 Nov '18

Please respond by November 30. Directors, thank you for your leadership at this week's board and joint leadership meetings. The resolutions we passed will be a pivotal point for our community for years to come. Now, as a board, we have some additional work to undertake to define guidelines that we as a board will use to help confirm pilot projects. I would like to launch a new board work effort to define guidelines the board can use to fulfill our confirmation responsibilities as part of the strategic project process. These guidelines will be a key tool for us to ensure that we and the OpenStack Foundation will be in a proper position to help these projects grow, thrive and succeed as an open source community driven technology. Please let me know if you are interested in participating in this work effort. Once I know those who are interested, I will setup a kickoff call where we can determine who would like to chair this effort and to determine a path forward. Regards, AlanClark

by Jonathan Bryce 01 Nov '18

01 Nov '18

Hi everyone, We’ve been working on Bylaws changes and have a draft that’s several revisions in to review today. This is not ready to vote on today. We’d like to vote on it at the Board meeting in Berlin. Today, I’d like to walk through the changes with everyone, see if there’s anything that needs more refinement and be ready to share the proposed amendments with the whole community. There are 3 basic categories of changes in this draft: 1) changes to support additional projects; 2) changes requested by the Technical Committee; and 3) changes to remove unnecessary corporate startup provisions in the original bylaws. Thanks! Jonathan
