Hi Marketing team. We are going to sponsor [http://www.ow2.org/view/OW2con-2013/] OW2con and have a demo pod and one or more speaking sessions there. [http://www.ow2.org/view/About/OW2_Consortium] OW2 is a technical organization which promotes and supports open source projects in France. They are putting up an OpenStack test bed where the open source projects can use cloud instances to develop, test and collaborate on their projects. Can anyone local or in Northern Europe/UK help us with that? Shari and I can organize, ship materials, provide booth graphics and content, booth volunteers, etc. but would like a marketing person on site if possible. We're also looking for speakers - users or technical. This is just after the Summit and there are OpenStack Days in Europe planned in early December...we appreciate your assistance on this event!

[OpenStack Marketing] qyjohn's Y13Q3 quarterly report of the size and health of the 4 open source cloud systems
by Mark Atwood 03 Oct '13

03 Oct '13

Hi! Each quarter, Qingye Jiang, an employee of Eucalyptus, publishes a report of the community and contribution metrics of OpenStack, OpenNebula, Eucalyptus, and CloudStack. He has just published his report for Y13Q3: http://www.eucalyptus.com/blog/2013/10/03/cy13-q3-community-analysis-%E2%80… Since his report last quarter, he has been collecting more metrics from git commit history, and also I think he is gathering in more data sets of discussion forums. Short summary of OpenStack’s position: OpenStack is still in the lead and accelerating. However, CloudStack is also still accelerating and growing fast. We are far and away best at bringing in new contributors. ..m -- Mark Atwood <mark.atwood(a)hp.com> Director of Open Source Engagement for HP Cloud & OpenStack +1-206-473-7118 On Wed, Jul 3, 2013 at 11:47 AM, Atwood, Mark <mark.atwood(a)hp.com> wrote: > Hi! > > > > Each quarter, Qingye Jiang, an employee of Eucalyptus, publishes a report of > the community and contribution metrics of OpenStack, OpenNebula, Eucalyptus, > and CloudStack.
