[Openinfralabs] Exciting announcement today!

[Daitzman, Michael S]

Hi everyone,

I wanted to make sure that everyone saw the exciting announcement coming out of Red Hat Summit today. Today, Red Hat is providing $551.9 million USD<https://www.redhat.com/en/about/press-releases/red-hat-and-boston-university-announce-major-partnership-advance-open-hybrid-cloud-research-and-operations-scale> in software subscriptions and resources to the Hariri Institute’s<https://www.bu.edu/hic/> open research cloud initiative,<https://www.bu.edu/hic/centers-initiatives-labs/orci/> in addition to $20 million to support research and deepen collaboration under the Red Hat Collaboratory at Boston University. This effort is creating a production research cloud that serves as the first, founding region in the OpenInfra Labs<http://openinfralabs.org/> Cloud Network, which is envisioned to be a network of production clouds connecting open source projects to production.

Companies who are interested in investing to accelerate the first region, help lead the effort to replicate and expand it to other regions, and participate in defining the rules for the federated open infrastructure cloud can sign up here: https://openinfrafoundation.formstack.com/forms/openinfra_labs_interest

Thanks so much!

Regards,

Michael Daitzman
Mass Open Cloud
