OpenInfra Summit Berlin Recap, Health & Safety Update
by Allison Price 22 Jun '22

22 Jun '22

Hi everyone, Thank you to everyone who attended the board meeting (in person or remotely) as well as the OpenInfra Summit in Berlin. After 2.5 years, the energy was palpable as everyone reunited with the OpenInfra family in person. It was great to see so many familiar, mask-covered faces. I know not everyone was able to attend, but we wanted to provide an update following the event as we collect feedback to keep everyone on the same page. Summit Attendance and Outcomes We ended up with over 900 registrations, which was the perfect size for the venue we had selected, especially given our focus on creating a healthy environment. Among those attendees, 57% were attending a Summit for their first time, and they represented over 350 organizations and 60+ countries. This provided for a great week of collaboration, hallway track networking, and getting work done. Some of the key highlights include positive reception to the launch of the Directed Funding <https://openinfra.dev/blog/open-for-business-open-infra-foundation-launches…> for OpenInfra project hosting. Thank you to everyone who helped move this forward as it led to several great conversations (and some promising leads!) throughout the week. If you weren’t able to attend and would like to meet 1:1 to get an update, please let me know. There was also a lot to celebrate including 10 years of Zuul <https://zuul-ci.org/blog/>, a new SIG forming around sustainability <https://twitter.com/knelson92/status/1534817786446462977>, discussions around the future of OpenInfra and AI, and more. Up next, we do have two more in person events planned. The next Project Teams Gathering (PTG) <http://openinfra.dev/ptg> will be October 17-20 in Columbus. Registration and sponsorship will be available in the next few weeks. The OpenInfra Summit 2023 <https://openinfra.dev/summit/vancouver-2023> will be in Vancouver, June 13-15. If you are interested in sponsoring, we have pricing available, so please encourage your teams to set up time with Jimmy McArthur <https://calendly.com/jimmy-mcarthur> as we continue to build on the momentum coming out of Berlin. Health & Safety Update Prior to the Summit, we set a threshold of three positive cases before sending an update to all attendees. The timeframe was from the beginning of the event (June 6) up until five days of the event ending (June 14). To date, no positive Covid-19 cases were reported during the event, and only two attendees have notified us that they tested positive since, both within five days after attending the event. Now that the notification time period has passed, we are sending an all-attendee Health & Safety Update tomorrow with the above information. It will also encourage anyone who tested positive for Covid-19 in that timeframe to let us know so we can make sure we have the most accurate information. If additional cases are shared, we will provide an update to this mailing list, as well as all attendees, at that time. If you have heard of any positive Covid-19 cases from your team, please let us know. Any and all feedback is welcome - please let us know if you have any outstanding questions or would like more information. Cheers, Allison Allison Price Director of Marketing & Community OpenInfra Foundation p: +1-214-686-6821

Summit it Berlin! Lets go!
by Mark Collier 13 Apr '22

13 Apr '22

Hi everyone, We are less than two months away from the OpenInfra Summit Berlin and I wanted to share some of the things that I am personally excited about! Our entire team as well as the community are working hard to make the first Summit in 2.5 years a memorable one, so I want to encourage you to make sure as many folks from your teams (and customers!) are registered as possible. • We have incredible speakers confirmed from organizations including BBC R&D, Ciena (5G on OpenStack), Kakao, the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts, Bloomberg, BMW, Volvo, Adobe, LINE, Verizon, and hopefully a return from Walmart who can talk about how they’re running 1M cores of OpenStack in production. • We also recruited Franziska Brantner, the State Secretary in the Federal Ministry (Germany) for Economic Affairs and Climate Action (Thanks, Kurt!) as well as Daniel Melin and Peter Nordström from Skatterverket, the Swedish Tax Agency (Thanks, Johan!) to talk about the importance of open source and digital sovereignty. • We have invited speakers from other open source bodies including the Open Source Initiative as well as the Open Compute Foundation to talk about our cross-community collaboration and strategy around open source in general • For those of you who may be facing travel restrictions from China, I wanted to let you know that we are working with the OpenInfra Days China organizers to bring the best of the Summit to the China event later in the Summer. I hope you’re getting as excited about the Summit as Nils* and I are. Like I mentioned, please make sure your teams and customers are registering as we want to make sure our biggest and most active companies are represented.

Re: [Foundation Board] [OpenStack Foundation] OIF bylaws text changes for gender neutrality
by Allison Randal 27 Oct '21

27 Oct '21

The code of conduct contact actually has already been updated on the website version of the bylaws: https://openinfra.dev/legal/code-of-conduct It just didn't make it into the LibreOffice/Word format document. I ran 'wdiff' on the main bylaws text to catch any inconsistencies (and found, for example, that the website version didn't apply the bylaws changes for Vice Chairs late last year), but I didn't run it on the appendices, so I'll make sure to do that before we get to the board vote.
