by Kendall Nelson 16 Mar '22

16 Mar '22

Hello Everyone! The Virtual Forum is approaching. We would love 1 volunteer from the community for the Forum Selection Committee. Ideally, the volunteer would already be serving in some capacity in a governance role for your project. In addition to calling for volunteers for the Forum selection committee, this email kicks off the brainstorming period before the CFP tool opens for formal Forum submissions. The categories for brainstorming etherpads have already been setup here[1]. Please add your etherpads and ideas there! The CFP tool will open on August 31st and will close September 14th. For information on the upcoming virtual Summit[2]. For more information on the Forum[3]. Please reach out to jimmy(a)openstack.org or knelson(a)openstack.org if you're interested. Volunteers should respond on or before August 31, 2020. Thanks!

2020 Open Infrastructure Foundation Annual Report
by Jeremy Stanley 29 Jan '21

29 Jan '21

Despite being a very different year than most, the Open Infrastructure community, which has over 110,000 community members, made it a productive and successful year. One of the biggest milestones that happened in the global community last year was that OpenStack, one of the top three most active open source projects with 15 million cores in production, marked its 10th anniversary in 2020. The Open Infrastructure Foundation would like to extend a huge thanks to the global community for all of the work that went into 2020 and is continuing in 2021 to help people build and operate open infrastructure. Check out the OpenInfra Labs community’s achievements in 2020 from the Open Infrastructure Foundation Annual Report[*] and join us[**] to build the next decade of open infrastructure!

Hi everyone, With the end of the year approaching quickly, we’re starting to draft the Open Infrastructure Foundation Annual Report, and I’m looking for a volunteer to help with the OpenInfra Labs update. Our goal is to have the content collected by January 13. We’ll want to include information around the launch, momentum, and milestones that the community has made this year. Any metrics that are available are great to include. Here is last year’s report for reference - https://www.openstack.org/annual-reports/2019-openstack-foundation-annual-r… <https://www.openstack.org/annual-reports/2019-openstack-foundation-annual-r…> Let me know who can help out.
