 Test mic. Sounds good. Sound good to me. Making sure the audio was on. I didn't everyone's so quiet. Well trained after ten years. I want to see Tim Bell's face. I see your name there. Where's your, where's your, yes. Tim! You're on mute. Oh my gosh, that was perfect. Make the magic. What time is it there for you Tim Bell? Five. Five. I think Tom's the latest. That's not too bad. It's 11 p.m. Here's Tom 5 p.m. I hope you have a, do you have a beverage in you yet? Yeah, yeah, I came to that a little bit earlier. I'm on the water at the moment. It's a bit way too early to enjoy a beverage in California. Yeah, I'm making my first cup of tea because I was up very late last night and then now it's early. Put whiskey or rum into your coffee or tea, whichever you prefer. I'm not saying that's not possible. I'm just saying I probably won't work at all today if it happens. I can concur with Kendall. Yeah, it's almost Friday somewhere. If I didn't have another like three hours of meetings after this, I think I'd be much more like in on that plan. With that plan the meetings would be much more fun. You do have a good point. Well, you could be a good pusher. Glad to see that Tim Bell brought Yeom. I was meaning to encourage him to come but we've got Tom. Tom has brought him as his plus one, so that's good. He's always on my shoulder. It's a spirit thing. He's your spirit animal? Yeah. Well, it looks like we've got a bunch of people joining. Sharon is on. I think we might get started here in a minute. It's awesome to see all of the, I'm just, you know, clicking through and seeing everybody who's joining on video, all these faces that we don't get to see in person anymore. Chris Hodge would like someone to tell him what OpenStack is. You think we figured that out? Give us another decade, man. Ten years then. I told Jonathan last night I was looking at old photos from our first trip to Japan and there's some slides in the background. I'm like, this is actually still probably one of the best descriptions of OpenStack. It's pretty straightforward. Maybe we should bring it back out. All right. Well, I think we should get it started. We've got a lot of content from different community members who have joined us that agreed to kind of step up and share some memories and some history and their journey with OpenStack and I think that's going to be really exciting to hear from all of them. Mark and I are kind of emceeing through it, but really I think this is ultimately about celebrating what this incredible community has done in the last 10 years. And I think that, like Mark said, we've been looking through photos and as we've gone through them, it's just amazing to see how many people we've met from all over the world who have jumped into this community and participated and contributed in so many different ways and that's really what I think today is about, really just celebrating that and giving people an opportunity to kind of look back and also look forward and appreciate everything that we've done. I guess, Mark, you mentioned that you can't have an OpenStack presentation without some hype slides. It wouldn't be OpenStack without a lot of big numbers and fancy slides. So we were going to start with the latest stats and things, especially for those of you who haven't been involved lately, maybe amazed just to see the things that you started, how they've grown and it's kind of crazy. We have 100,000 people in the community now around the world and almost 200 countries. So it's one of the things that is the most awesome, I think just how many people have been able to get involved. And so thank you to everybody who got involved early and helped kick this off. I think we've now got just people all over the world that are participating. We just had one of our first virtual events and actually had people from 70 plus countries join. So it's awesome just to see the ideas from around the world and not be anchored in any one place. It's kind of all over. But anyway, I'm glad a lot of you could join and I'm not sure what our next slide is, but let's find out. Did you start drinking already? No, that might be the problem. I want to apologize up front for not drinking before this. But yeah, I think obviously we've had just people all over the world joined the community since all of you helped start it back 10 years ago. And what you also might not know is a lot of the code that you wrote and ideas that you all contributed 10 years ago are now really making an impact all over the world. And we have that software is now powering the biggest postal service in the world. I mean, I don't know about y'all, Josh and everybody, but I never thought the postal service anywhere would run open stack or even telecoms. We have there are a billion people connected to China Mobile, which is just one telecom running open stack. And so it's kind of crazy all the places it's gone. And it's one of the awesome things about open source. So hope everybody's really proud of what you all started because it's it's running all over the freaking world now. I think it's the largest power company in the world runs it. The largest payment processor I could go on, but I haven't been drinking. So I'll probably not go on. But suffice it to say that you all built something really awesome. And of course, you know, I can't say often enough that CERN runs it. So have tip to Tim Bell and, you know, the fact that we're, we're all trying to find that missing 95% of mass or matter, whatever it is, I need to get a physics degree. But anyway, it's running everywhere. It's running everything. So it's pretty, pretty awesome to see what, what you all started, how it's gone places. What's next? Sunny was going to give us some stats on the open stack project. All right. Yeah. Awesome. Thanks, Mark and Jonathan. So hi everyone. My name is Sunny. I'm the marketing associate in the foundation. So, um, just like Mark mentioned, not only we're having, we have more than 10 million open stack computer cores around the world. We will begin as an endeavor to bring greater choice in cloud solutions to users. Open stack has also evolved into one of the three most active open source projects in the world. Supported by a global community of over a hundred thousand individuals. Open stack is also the most widely deployed open source cloud infrastructure software. And according to four or five foreign research, open stack is projected to be a seven point seven billion dollars market by 2023 with the most growth in Asia, Latin America, Europe and North America. So with millions of cores over a hundred thousand community members and 10 years with our community, the open stack project has accomplished many big mouths, milestones, such as 21 releases with more than 500 K changes merged and 8,000 developers offering those changes. So thank you to all the community members who have worked together and collaborate without boundaries. We absolutely couldn't have done it without you. So this is why we're celebrating today. And here we'll also like to encourage you to check out our 10 years open stack blog on open stack.org slash blog. We have gathered their content from community members all around the world on what 10 years open stack mean to them, but also our ecosystem companies on how 10 years with open stack have transformed their companies as well. I'll get back to you. Cool. Yeah, it is, it is a, you know, sometimes I think as you like watch it grow year by year, you, you can lose track of, of where we started and digging back through old decks. Like, like Mark said, it's funny to see when, when we were, you know, celebrating having, having like 100 developers and then, you know, 200 developers. And now we, we have so many developers every release that still kind of are joining and contributing and moving it forward. But now we're going to get into the, some of the fun parts here where we get to hear from, from a variety of people who have put their mark on open stack and, and tell us how they, how they got involved and some of their favorite memories. And first up we have Brett Piat, who I see is sporting one of the original open stack T-shirts there. Take it away, Brett. Yeah. So I'll take a little bit of artistic liberty with the timelines. I may have been drinking during some of this. So my memories may not be exactly factually correct, but I'm starting at the beginning in a conference room inside a remodeled shopping mall turned racks based corporate headquarters where we had a light up moose and canoe on the walls. This, our belief at that we were discussing there was that Linux was critically important to the rise of open source as a server operating system and really powering the web. And we believe that you needed an open source data center operating system to become that critically important project for cloud computing. So countless hours were spent. And after we finished crafting the first draft of our master plan, we hopped on a flight to Seattle. So even from the very beginning, the open stack community focused on being inclusive and asking to learn from others with the goals to build something special. Our trip to Seattle included a visit to the ops code headquarters, the company behind chef where we had a long discussion with Adam Jacob about open source governance and community building. Yes, those really were light switches inside their office. And yes, some of you in the audience may disagree with me on the order and chaos one and you may prefer to work in the dark. That's a debate for another day. I'd like to thank Adam and the team we met with for lots of great lessons learned with the new knowledge in hand. We returned to San Antonio. So after figuring out the direction where we were headed on to open stack, we needed to learn about running events. So then off to San Francisco and Drupal con. Dries was gracious enough to sit down with us for breakfast and hear our ideas. He's an amazing person and shared very valuable advice. It would be many years before open stack had an event with a keynote stage of that size. Amazingly as a community, we did get there. And now that we'd learned to run our own summit from Dries and the team, it was back to San Antonio to host the November 2010 open stack design summit. Our first public event. We were hosting that first summit in the same building where Rackspace's first data center was built. As Rackspace no longer operated a DC in that building, we didn't have cabinets full of servers for an onsite cloud. Dell stepped up and then the shipping went awry. At 2pm the day before we start the summit, I get a call that the gear went north on I-35 to Waco instead of south to San Antonio. The shipping company says no problem. I've got a person that can get it from Waco down to you tonight. They didn't mention that it wouldn't be able to pull up to a loading dock and that effectively it would arrive in a horse trailer. Thanks to the community support from members who stayed through the night, we were able to get everything connected. Then after an exciting three days, it was time for me to hop on another flight. And another flight. And another flight. And another flight. For a couple of years I personally avoided hotel reward programs and frequent flyer programs because I didn't want to know how many stays, legs or miles I racked up. And I certainly didn't want a vacation by going on another flight to another hotel. I would travel anywhere to share the open stack message, but in my off hours I enjoyed some quiet time at home. You really should have learned me about that, Brett. I didn't learn at all from that. Yes. After touring the United States and spreading the word, it was time to hop on a long flight across the Pacific. The top left photo is of Mark and I in Tokyo. And then down the bottom right, the top left photo is of Mark. Mark took the photo of me and Beijing in front of the Forbidden City. Well, it was still early. We were spreading the word of open stack globally and we believed it was necessary to do that even from the beginning. Today I'm still running an open stack company that connects tens of thousands of businesses and protects their storage and data. Check out my super user interview with Mark on the open stack site to hear more about that. And I'd like to thank the foundation team, the members of the community, the developers, the operators and the users. What an amazing first decade. And I think we'll all be celebrating the 20th before we know it. So thanks for letting me share the story today with everybody. Thanks, Brett. Worst trailer story. I know, I remember that. I've forgotten almost all of these stories. So thanks. Probably intentionally, right, Mark? Somehow. Somehow. Next up we've got Dustin Kirkland to share. So take it away, Dustin. Hey, how are you guys? Good to hear from everyone. Yeah. My intro to open stack was actually from vacation. I was on vacation with my wife on holiday in July 2010. So just pretty much exactly 10 years ago. I was working at canonical as an engineer. I was packaging. I was the packager for KBM, Lipburg. And at the time, Ubuntu was working with Eucalyptus as a cloud platform. And we had pretty much had our limits with what we could do with Eucalyptus. And while on holiday, I heard something about NASA and Rackspace putting together a group to explore this idea of another open source cloud platform to challenge VMware and AWS. And so I at the dismay of my darling bride, I actually left vacation to fly back home to Austin, live in Austin, where we actually held the very first open stack summit. So on the next slide, you can see the couple of pictures that I took from my phone. This was before day where you take pictures of everything with a phone. That's breakfast at the Omni hotel in Austin. The entire open stack summit was what 50 people, I guess, fit into a single 75 people. There was this circular or square shaped table and everyone sat around this table and we were taking notes in a shared document up on a projector screen. After two days of that, I think we walked away with the foundations of what would eventually become open stack. So it's amazing that that was 10 years ago. On the next slide, I was asked to share my favorite open stack summit memory. This would have been Paris in 2014. We unveiled this machine, this box called the Ubuntu orange box. And it was basically 10 Intel nooks that we had packaged into a custom designed case. And it was a little portable supercomputer. It was never meant to be a production thing, but we used it to demonstrate the power of what open stack would look like. It was really hard to demonstrate open stack. People were demoing open stack on top of AWS at the time or on top of Rackspace. And it was hard to conceptualize until you actually saw it. But when we put this box on the table and the blinky lights came on and machines came up and virtual machines started running, that was pretty amazing. At the time, we actually added support for containers to open stack through LXC. And in this demo, we did a live migration of doom the game running from one container to another on one of those physical machines to another physical machine. And it was pretty amazing and kind of a fun fact, maybe why this is my favorite summit memory. As I walked off the stage, my boss grabbed me and I thought he was just really amped up and I just couldn't imagine what he was going to ask me to do because it was a high stress time. And he shook my hand and gave me a raise right there on the spot which was pretty amazing. I'd never experienced that before in my career. And then I was asked to give some advice going forward. The spirit of open source just avoid tribalism just because you've got that you're working for the power of open sources and the collaboration. How dare you Dustin? Oh, sorry. Embrace change is inevitable. It's coming. Whether it's VMs or containers or whatever follows after that, that's just part of the process. It's important to expand and embrace new technologies but do so thoughtfully and purposefully. There's a big world out there and some of it belongs and some of it just may not fit and then diversity, diversity, diversity is so important and fundamental and that's every walk of life you can possibly imagine. Different backgrounds, different industries, different people, different countries. I think a better project comes out of diversity. Thanks, Jonathan. Mark, I appreciate the opportunity here. Yeah, thanks for sharing and I didn't know that story behind your Paris presentation. That would be memorable. Okay. So next up we have a true original stacker and also a true storyteller. So definitely I'm excited to hear what Josh is going to tell us about the journey and I'll hand it over to Mr. McKinney. Thank you so much. Excited. I spent, you know, the first five years of OpenStack pretending I understood what was going on and I spent a couple of years. Can you hear those? There's kind of an echo. I'm trying to see if you need to know something. Weird. Okay. Okay. Yeah. I can do much on my end. Okay. Well, I spent years pretending like I knew what was going on and I'm done doing that now. So I have no idea what happened. Sunny, can you flip slides or I'll request control of that if that works for you. Okay. Yeah. First OpenStack was super, super small. It was, you know, at NASA, we called it the, I don't ever mind. Okay. It was, it was NASA.net. It was, before it was even Nova, it was like we were going to build a dot net thing and then we threw out that idea and we just built something better. Next slide. A lot of the people who were involved went off and became very famous doing completely different things. Aria Waldman just gave a TED talk on science communication which was actually on this team originally. So some of the people who I think had huge impacts on OpenStack were there for very brief periods of time and there aren't even really stories about them. Jesse Kate also leads OpenLunar now. So just amazing, amazing people. Next slide. Yeah. This was the blog post that got Rackspace's attention. We were not really very polished. So it was like one sentence of, hey, we should maybe try this out and see what happens. You know, the ship, ship and then test ethos was strong in the early days and it's still strong now. Next slide. We had some gear. I also mostly just wanted to highlight some of these folks because we didn't have a lot of photos of them, but this was a Goddard Space Flight Center. This was the second Nova cluster. I guess maybe that makes it the third OpenStack cloud in existence. Did some cool stuff on that one. Next slide. And this was CERN, the first time CERN heard about OpenStack. I gave the worst talk ever. Cloud is like an eggplant and there was almost no one there and the people who were there hated it. I don't know if Tim Dodd remembers it that way. It worked. It worked. It was a mostly empty room. I'd gone all the way to Europe to give this talk and I was like, please don't do what you're about to do. There's a better thing coming. We don't know what you're talking about. We're going to write this all in C. Did you get a raise? Did I get a raise? I did not get a raise. No, I got fired actually. It's usually one or the other. It's the way I like to play it. Next slide. Then it got famous. We'll do these quick. That was the CIO of America. I came to see what was going on. Next slide. We had a round table with Sergey Brin and Brewster Kale and all sorts of Robert Grossman. If you see in the upper right corner, I'm standing there desperately trying not to sneeze. There were so few chairs and so many people in this room. The deputy administrator of NASA is up against the wall and the director didn't even get a seat at the table. And myself and Bobby Kates, who was a network engineer, we were standing, there were no chairs for us, but I just really didn't want to interrupt by sneezing. I had this terrible allergies. Next slide. Everyone has a photo of this square first summit. This one is mine. I spent a lot of time in this corner. I also didn't spend a lot of time sitting. I was pacing around. I didn't sit. You were whiteboarding, I think. I was whiteboarding. That's right. We had one whiteboard. Next slide. And this was us quickly getting rid of a lawsuit so that we could actually release open source on the second day. So we stayed up the night of the first day, submitting a patch that removed copyright. It's kind of a complicated situation. Next slide. So we had an open stack event at NASA Aims. I just, I think this photo of Paul V is amazing. But there were, again, there were like 12 people in a basement. Where's Alex Paul V? Let's get Paul V on the, on the zoom. You had to go through two sets of security gates and guards to get into this basement room. So it was not a popular venue. No one remembers this event either. Next slide. And then we went to Washington and this is the executive office. And it's worth noting that we only had one tie amongst us in the early team. So I had worn it for the CIO's visit and then Jesse borrowed it and wore it for, for our trip to the executive office. That's incredible. The one type of open stack. I still have that tie. Next slide. And then it got really loud. Let's do these real quick. Everyone remembers this. Piston was famous vaguely vaguely. Next slide. And then it got really big. This one, thankfully you can't see me. I'm in a gold spandex. Unitard with a way gone. Next slide. And then it got super weird. The space monkey thing was actually a secret plan to make sushi out of frozen space monkey tissue that was stored in refrigerators at NASA aims because we were taking over the software to manage the fridges and putting it on open stack. We thought maybe we had a play for this black market in space monkey sushi. But the monkeys were already dead. The plan was never to kill them. Next slide. And then of course we had, you know, an epic open stack focused band. Next slide. And then it went international. Let's just do these real quick. Japan, Korea, everyone went there. It was just, it was amazing. It is amazing that the international community was the part that really blew my mind. Next. So, all sorts of stuff went wrong in everyone's life. And then, and then it got better. And I think open stack was kind of the backdrop for, for everyone's 10 years. And yeah, this was what, this is what I remember the most is probably the open stack babies who are now kids and friends of my kids. That looks a little bit like that might be Jesse's and my baby there. Congratulations, by the way, Jonathan. Open stack is Jesse and yours babies. Jonathan, that one is, that one's literally, but yeah. And that next slide, I think that's it. Yeah. Oh, the keystone me right. I just had to slide that in there because it was one of my favorite moments. And I just love that Jesse always coded lying down and still does. So this was coding at Jesse's house was always lying on the ground. One of my favorite moments. This was a set of people who were mostly estranged from each other for a few years. And then this was one of those parties where we had worked it out and had a really good time. He still might. Yeah. Thank you. That was, it's still an honor. Man, those are, those are amazing. Josh, thank you for sharing those. You know, digging through photos and trips and presentations. And seeing all of the people that have been involved, like you said, I think that's really the part that has just been, been the most meaningful for sure. And, you know, that, that's something that I think has, has been unlike anything else that I've ever worked on or participated in and getting to meet all of these, all of these people all over the world has been awesome. Thank you for, for featuring so many that I didn't have photos of and it's great to see the, the NASA side represented there. Thanks for that. And by the way, that, that first summit was so secret, Jonathan wasn't even invited. He's still upset that we picked the one week that he couldn't come to throw that summit. It was like, I think it was like the Omni, you know, hotel availability. And, and however, you know, Mark was, Mark was very nice and he, he kept a shirt for me, one of the original shirts from, from that event, but it was like, like a, like a triple X which is a little big for me. So I'm wearing, I'm wearing my, actually one of the piston customers made this shirt in honor of our error message. And I was like, it takes a special level of love for a community to like, this was when, yeah. It's the Piston Dev error status pot. Limited edition. That's great. I don't know if Nate's on, but I know he told me earlier, he was wearing his DevStack shirt. So I put this one on in honor of you, Josh, you and I, I think coined this term. Yes. At Star Bar in Austin during the first summit, which was free as in beer, speech and love. And then of course, Todd, was wearing an amazing shirt. So thank you. So it's such a good shirt memory. My daughter stole that one from me. I don't have it anymore. Well, maybe we can get you one. All right. Sorry, I think we're, we're, we're stealing Nikki's time, but that was awesome. Josh, thank you. Sure. Yeah. Next up we've got Nikki Acosta. So we'll hand it off to her and let her share her slides. Thanks y'all. So I'm, I'm Nikki. Yes. Yes. So I, I, I just learned of, of Kyle's passing. And now it makes sense why he never returned my phone calls. So props to Kyle McDonald. He was a really good friend. They stayed with him out in San Francisco. He would, when he would come to Austin to do cancer treatments, we would hang out. And so really sad to hear that. We've lost a few people and when I put out a call, James ready was an open stack community organizer in Connecticut, I believe, and a riot by all accounts from what I can tell, looking at his, at his social media history. And then Chris, who was an open stack, Nova Dev, who the kilo release was dedicated to, I believe. Next slide. A couple other people we've lost along the way, one that just had a tremendous impact on the cloud in general was Jeremy Gillan. He was part of the folks that did the cloud expo and just a really lovely human. And of course, Kathy catch a Tory who is probably one of my favorite people in open staff. We worked so many conferences together. And I remember being at a Gartner conference and being really hungover. And she looked at me and she said, Nikki, go take a nap. And I was really grateful that she was really to staff that booth, but just a really, really stellar human with a great sense of humor. And she will definitely be messed. All right. So my journey began early. Next slide at rack space. And I was a really kind of young, inexperienced, naive sales person who really liked hanging out with engineers a lot more than I like hanging out with sales people. And so I kind of finagled my way into doing open stack stuff and promoting rack spaces, open stack products. And so I believe this was at a Linux con in San Diego. Next slide. I vaguely remember the Santa Clara conference. I do remember there were some epic parties there. And the one I really started taking photos at was in Boston, where I met a Akahito son and Edgar Magana. And I remember it was during the time of the. Of the occupy movement. And I saw that really, really free market sign. And I was like, yes, open stack. Open stack. And I was really excited about that. Next slide. Then it was San Francisco. And I was really excited that, let me do some gorilla marketing. No pun intended at the time. Amazon had its chaos monkey. And so I was like, man, I'm going to dress up as a chaos monkey. And I'm going to go wreak havoc at the conference, except when I went to the store to run a costume, they didn't have a monkey costume. So I had to be a chaos ape. And so I just ran around. Creating all kinds of havoc. And I think it was a pretty big secret. I knew a lot of people didn't know that it was me under there. A lot of people are asking questions, but it was really fun. Next slide. Then it was a, we did some rec space releases with a, just a really great group of people. And as always good food and good shirts. There's and gentle there. Then we went to the, the store to run a costume. They didn't have a monkey costume. So I had to be a chaos ape. And so I just ran around. Then we went to the San Diego summit, which was absolutely lovely. Such a good time. Epic parties. And those days we're just talking about trying to build a community and trying to convince people to like make a commitment to open stack and get involved with the community. There were a lot of people that were coming from other places. Next slide. This was really exciting. At the time, open stack was kind of competing with cloud stack and eucalyptus. And so I looked at job data and I, I found out that open stack was just kick and tail. And so I shared a bunch of data. And again, try to recruit more people to open stack at trying to convince them that it was the way to go because there were actually people hiring for open stack roles and not so much for eucalyptus and cloud stack. Next slide. Hong Kong summit was great. What an amazing conference that was. I believe that's the one where, where Mark from Ubuntu had like the cart and he like pulled the, the sheet off of it, which was really, it was like this magical epic moment. I remember sitting around at the hotel having a good time in, in Hong Kong. And then the epic parties that HP and through and the, the cool dress up costumes, just super, super fun. Next slide. Yeah. 2014 was fun. I started that the open stack podcast where I got to talk to people. I think we did like 56 podcasts. And if you'll notice there, there were some that were explicit, which was really exciting. So props to Flavio from Red Hat and Weston and Josie from Tapjoy. It was really fun and interesting to learn that we had to put explicit on these things or else some filters would actually delete them. Learning experience. Then there was open stack Paris. That sandwich down there is a chicken testicle sandwich. I'd never had a just chicken testicle sandwich, but I was down to try it. And it's actually really good. Top right, I was in a little gift shop and I laughed when I saw like Texas toys. I think this is what they think of Texas. It's like the Wild West with tumbleweeds. And so that was a really fun experience to browse around Paris and visit the Louvre with Jim Curry and visit the Cathedral, the Notre Dame, of course, before it caught on fire. Just a really, really epic time. Next slide. We did this fun giveaways. These people have opened stack cards. They're everywhere around my house still. I still have some wrap ones if somebody really, really wants one, I can send you one, but this was a super, super fun giveaway. And it was really fun to get the community involved. And I'm not going to say that people were cheating and we were logging IP addresses to see if people were cheating or not. We were able to filter those out. And actually Gary's not in his head. We were actually able to filter out, filter out. And then they must have written a script to vote or something because it was like the same IP address voting from Rantus people. So we busted them. They still made the deck, but that was a good time putting that debt together. There was also a copy of it here that I keep just as a reminder. Yeah, Nathaniel Burton from the NSA made the deck and we had to negotiate with the NSA. I got a call from the NSA. And I'm like, Oh crap, why is the NSA calling me? And they were like, well, what is this? Is an award? Is he being paid? And we had a plan that if he wasn't going to make it, that we were just going to black out his face and put the NSA logo and put redacted on it, like this presentation that he did where they had to redact all the NSA data. Good times. Next slide. Then, uh, who we, uh, we, I haven't gone to Metaclaw. We got acquired by Cisco, which was an absolute adventure. I, uh, it was, it was a weird experience being acquired, going from like a startup, going to a big company. Uh, but I did my time there and I learned a lot and we still had fun. Gary and Anne and then all the people who ventured over there with us, the diversity programs were great. Uh, I'm no longer at Cisco. I've been on a sabbatical detoxing for the last, uh, year. Actually. Next slide. Okay. If it helps, it's still weird. Good to know. Glad. I got news for him. Vancouver. This was a really fun conference that hotel behind Tim bell. There was a point in the conference where there were people, um, it was in a rotating bar and there were people having sex in that building with the windows open. And I remember everyone kind of gathered over there to look at that, but that was my experience to poutine. Uh, Vancouver was a riot that women of open stack crews was amazing. That went around the bay on just the most beautiful epic day. So good job putting that one together. Team. Next one. Fifth anniversary party in Austin. All I remember it was really freaking hot that day, but we had a good time. You can tell Boris had a really good time there in the front. Next slide. Okay. And my favorite summit of all Tokyo, Akita saw and took us out to this little place that had the most amazing sushi I've ever had in my life. Um, there's Chris, they're sporting a taco flavored Doritos. Uh, we just had a really amazing time, really diverse and just a, probably the most memorable thing. I love Tokyo so much. I've actually been back since just an amazing city with amazing people and amazing culture. Yeah. I think that's almost it. Oh yeah. Samora open stack. Awesome summit. There's turn me there with this shirt. I created open stack and all I got was this lousy T-shirt. That was really fun. Again, in the heat with Ann and Gary, probably a little bit red from drinking margaritas at who left. Next slide. I'm snowing often. Nikki. You can forget that. Oh man. So much fun. I just wanted to say, thank you. Open stack changed my life in a very, very profound way. Um, you can go to the next slide. I'm tired of looking at my face. Um, the food, the amazing experiences, my big takeaway is that even though we are divided by boundaries and borders and, you know, political parties and all these other things, you know, when a community comes together like this, a global, a global community and, and you get to meet people from all over the world and experience their cultures, you realize we're really not that different and we're all one human race, you know, just trying to make the world a better place. And for that, I am infinitely grateful. Thank you so much to the open stack crew for just putting on all of these conferences and working your tail off to get these things together. Mark and Jonathan and Allison and Sonny and Heidi and theory and all everybody. Thank you so much for the amazing experiences. That's it. Thank you, Nikki. Thanks for, uh, for sharing all of those awesome photos through the, uh, through the years. And yeah, I, I think that, you know, you, the closing point is, it's so true that, that, uh, we, we've been able to build something with this global community that in some ways, you know, reminds me that, that as humans, even though we're different, we can still work together and accomplish big things. And I think that's, that's a sometimes a needed reminder. Um, and speaking of that, you know, our, our first presenters were all, um, based in North America, but, uh, as we have mentioned a few times, um, you know, within the first couple of years, open stack quickly started to, to spread around the world. And so, um, our next presenters are, are from, uh, from, um, a variety of regions and we're going to get to hear some, uh, some stories from, uh, from the amazing global community, uh, and how, uh, how different individuals have gotten involved in different parts of the world. So next up we'll have Mohammed Abu Aisha. Hey everybody. And, um, um, I'm very grateful to give me this opportunity to share my experience with open stack. Uh, I'm Mohammed Abu Aisha. I live in Middle East and Palestine. Uh, next slide. Um, uh, this is me. Uh, so I'm a senior software engineer. Uh, I'm a founder of open stack Palestine user group. Uh, I established the community in Palestine last year. Uh, my engagement with the open stack was, uh, uh, about three, three years ago when I started working in a project, uh, an orchestration product called Clarify built an open stack plugin integrated with open stack infrastructure. Uh, so basically, uh, I'm, I'm a little bit new to the open stack infrastructure. It's about three years and not compared with everybody here. So hopefully I'm not the, the smallest person here that have the less experience with open stack. And next slide. Um, last year I have the opportunity to attend the open, the open stack infrastructure summit at Denver. Uh, this is why it was my first engagement with the, uh, one of the summit for open open stack infrastructure, which is held the last year. Um, the next step. So after I get back from the, uh, from Denver summit, I decided to start building our community in Palestine. So I prepared, uh, our first open stack meetup. So which, uh, to spread the, the community about the open stack, what is the open stack and how they use it. And luckily I found that some of the colleagues that who attended, uh, that meetups, uh, have, have really engaged with open stack by working with the telecom company like Nokia. So it was a very great, uh, uh, meetup that, uh, organized at that moment. And next slide. And then we decided that we should go, uh, we should spread the open stack for, uh, at university. So we prepared for our next, uh, meetup, uh, one of the largest university in Palestine, uh, which attends about 100, uh, 100 students. And I want to have a chance to, uh, thanks, uh, Memset and the exhaust who, uh, provide us with a free user account to, uh, to show the, to the audience how to use open stack, uh, in the public cloud. So this is was, uh, uh, one of the, uh, a good moment that we shared the open stack with our community. And we still decide to, uh, organize more meetup for open stack in the coming, in the next coming month. Next, I think. Yeah. So this is my experience and, um, with open stack. And I'm very, I'm very grateful to have PM in, but of this great community. And I'm looking forward to start, uh, uh, contributing to one of the open stack, uh, project because, uh, I have time right now because I just finished my master and I'm, uh, uh, uh, preparing to start, uh, contributing to one of the open stack project. And thank you for everybody. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Hey, Mohammed. It's, uh, it's great to hear how there's, uh, still, uh, you know, new, new meetups and new places. And thank you for taking on that effort to, to expand our community. That's how it happens. So really. Thank you. Yeah. And next up, we have Gancham man, G man, as you might know him on, uh, IRC who's, uh, a very, uh, very well-known contributor. So, uh, take it away. Yeah. Thanks. Hello everyone. My name is here. I'm on and I started open stack and engaged in open stack in India. And then. I did almost six years. Contribution from Tokyo. And now I'm in Canada. And making myself believe that human lives in minus 40 degrees. Yes. But that's good experience. So my journey was in 2012. I, I was engaged as a support engineer, like mostly downstream work with open stack. And, uh, on 23rd of 22nd or 21st of fab, I was like about to move to the other area. And where I could not get opportunity to work in open stack, but just before my last day in this open stack support team, I got opportunity that, okay, we have the upstream contributor. We can see. So if you would like to do it. And, uh, being an open source, knowing the open source culture and all that was interesting for me. And, uh, on 23rd of fab, I flew to Tokyo and from Tokyo, I joined the open stack upstream team. And that was around six years back. This was my first patch, 6.5 years back. And on the right side, first photo is my first summit on Atlanta, 2014, March or somewhere. So that was awesome. Like, uh, I never been like walking open source in a big, uh, events like this. And when I attended the Atlanta event, it was not just like, a conference or marketing event, but people like, uh, technical discussion, the design summits or like people meeting in Colorado, or in the cafe, they discussed like all these technical depth and all those kind of things were really interesting for me. And after that, yeah, it started and, uh, according is my main interest, APIs and QA things, uh, where I'm contributing mostly. And, uh, and as a technical committee member, and there are a lot of events, then keep going. And I collected all these. Bases for every event. That's my, like one of the. Or good memory, like having. Look into this. Okay. Profound 14 that event. I went on 15 that event. I think that was. Really nice journey. And next, next slide please. Yeah. And this is something I really, uh, like to say about the, you can say the best thing in open stack, uh, being like working from India and Tokyo, especially like the ACR company. Uh, obviously every company has their IT policies, the restriction proxies, but, uh, an ACR site, we have little more. So openness of community tooling, uh, is the, one of the important things we are maintaining. Because if a developer or any contributor can access the tools freely, or they are not like, uh, restricted on these kind of stuff, like, okay, we cannot have access to these things in my company. And all this stuff. So tooling is very important. And in open stack, I think every tooling whatever we are using, even in communication or. Development or a lot of our open debt tools. Very freely to be used everywhere. And that is one of the good thing. And obviously the culture openness, uh, being like, I have my team in, uh, India and Tokyo, like we work in. Three, four open source communities and open stack is being. I feel the most open. And transparent community. And obviously every community member, irrespective of what country culture company they are, but whenever it comes to the community side, they are very open and they are like, okay, first team is our upstream contributor teams. And then we have the second or company team. So that is really awesome. The picture is the Noah. PTZ Denver or somewhere. Really like working in Noah. And team is really awesome. 30 update. That was one of the survey question. And the most thing I like open stack being in pop three, most active open source project. I think if we, I would like to see that update after everyone. 10 years into the 130 or more. I think if we can maintain that. And I think that will be the awesome thing, especially for as a developer. That's what I want. Yeah. Next slide please. Yeah. These are a few memories. The left side, when carry went says events are my favorite. The one of the reason is my first session in any of the global conference was in Vancouver 2015 on Noah, we took point one APIs. And I thought like it will be 1015 or maximum 50 people there, but it was more than 200. And I was like, how should I speak it? So that was awesome experience. And that's where I started like my journey as a. Being upstream developers speaking in global events, meeting with other people and all this stuff. And obviously next event also was awesome. I was hoping like we could have been in. When cure this zone, but yeah, it was virtual. And upstream trainings is also one of the key thing. Like I have still this gap and this was the awesome gift, you can say, but yeah, my, my thing, my, my main believe is like, we have to teach what we learn. And I have learned and go to help from a lot of community members. And that's where I usually help in the upstream training, being as a mentor or, or helping new contributors onboarding them. And open stack days. This is this picture on right side is of Tokyo opens like this. And I've been in Vietnam opens like this Tokyo. And those attending local events is always great. You get more connected with the local people, local contributors. And that has obviously the impact on how we work together. And obviously be here with community members. That is awesome. Like we work together for three months, six months without seeing each other. And when we meet and have beer, that's awesome. Mid-cycle meetup was one of my favorite to be. And we had like now PTZ kind of things, but those were like meeting a small team and discussing the design things and all were awesome. And yeah, that's one of the goodies. Like I grew my beer for 2.5 years. Barcelona summit I started then we're around in where I saved it, but that was around two, five years along with open stack. I wish I could have continued that, but yeah, it was good. So overall a lot of good memories. And I think the best thing is like we are still continuing in top three active open source contribution. And the big role here plays like foundation, how they're providing us the platform transparency, openness, everything. That's really a big thanks to all our foundation staff, contributors, everyone. And yeah, I am really thankful to be presenting here. And I'll be happy to contribute more and more as much as I can. Yeah. Yeah, that's all from my side. Thank you. Thank you. Thanks for sharing all of that too. We have one more presenter. And that's going to, to share some slides and song. So is one of the, the has been one of the main organizers of our community in Korea. So I'll hand it over to you. Thank you. Can you hear me? Yes, we can hear you very well. Thank you. Hi, I'm Song. I'm the leader of OpenStack Korea user group. And this is my OpenStack story. So the first time I met OpenStack was my curiosity about the cloud. And in 2015, I was a student and studying OpenStack alone. And one day I found that there was an OpenStack user group in my country. And I attended the fifth birthday party. That was my first time to attend the local community event. Actually, I didn't know about OpenStack very well. So I was afraid to attend the local event. But the community members were only welcome to me. And now I'm really, thank you to them. Next. Okay. So my first experiment with the community was very interesting. So I keep going to the community, such as study group for the seminar. It was good to get to know about OpenStack through the community, but it was more fun to meet the community member and talk to them. So from 2016, I participated in local OpenStack days conference as a volunteer. From then continuity to community has made me feel more delighted than I have learned about OpenStack through the community. So as a result in 2017, I became the vice leader of the OpenStack Korea user group. And now I am the leader of the OpenStack Korea user group. Next. This is my most favorite memory in OpenStack community. And last year was the meaningful year for Korea and Vietnam user group. The OpenStack Korea user group sponsored opening Friday's Vietnam as a community sponsor. So the Korean user group, Korean user group organizers went to the Vietnam and cheered for the event. After the event, the user group continued to collaborate as a joint seminar and study group. So I really thank you to Ian and Yuan for creating an opportunity for the two user groups to collaborate. I think Ian is in here. So I really thank you for him. Thank you so much. Thank you Ian. This event once again made me feel that the OpenStack community has no boundaries as a global community. So the Korea user group organizers are welcome to collaborate with other user groups. Next slide. This is my favorite presentation. Actually, I came for the OpenStack. I just want to know what is the OpenStack. But now I stay for the community. I am working with the OpenStack in my company. And after the work, I am living with the OpenStack community. OpenStack became everything in my life. So I really love this community. And thank you for contributing to this community. Thank you. Thank you, Sung Soo. So, you know, that was an awesome set of memories and experiences that we were able to hear from people who have been involved at points all along. OpenStack. Mark and I threw together just a handful of photos here that capture some of our memories. There's one of Tom Feifeldt sleeping in a conference somewhere, one of me sleeping. We have an entire album internally called Sleeping in Public, which is basically when stackers fall asleep from traveling too much. Do you have any final memories you would like to share, Mark, before we toast it out? Well, just one quick thing. You know, everybody talked about how it's been very welcoming and it's been so good to see people from different walks of life and different points of view. And one of the things that just came to mind is that as an example of how welcoming we are of different ideas is that in the Portland Summit in 2013, we had a keynote from Nate from the NSA. And then in 2017, we had a keynote from an ex-NSA speaker. You might remember Edward Snowden. So to me, that's just two fun memories of interesting points of view from NSA and ex-NSA members. So I don't know. I love both of those experiences and all the summits and getting to meet everybody. I think that's just a good sign of how we're always welcoming different perspectives. Cool. Well, funny, if you can kill the slide share, I know that Allison was interested in getting kind of a grid view of as many stackers as we could to take a selfie shot. Yeah, a virtual group photo here. So while you all get your selfie face on here, I just want to, I'll raise my topochico. And I just want to kind of reiterate what Mark said at the beginning, which is, you know, if you've had any involvement in OpenStack at all in the last 10 years, I hope that you feel really proud of what we've been able to accomplish as a community. Sungsoo said it really well, you know, come for OpenStack, stay for the community. That community has been built by everybody who's here, as well as the thousands of others all around the world here. And to me, that's the most incredible kind of outcome from this whole thing that kicked off 10 years ago. So I want to say cheers to OpenStack for the past 10 years, and here's to the next 10. Cheers to OpenStack. Cheers. Hey, yes, I'm here. I'm Gary, same t-shirt. I have my OpenStack for Japan t-shirt. Oh, nice. In 2011. Yeah, so many great t-shirts. I was looking for my San Diego, I couldn't find. I'm sorry. I have my socks. Oh, nice. Little outfit. I see John Dickinson. Hi, John. Good morning. I have one from Portland, Prakash here. Hi, Prakash. Yeah, Portland. That was my remembrance. Ah, yes. Portland we have the t-shirts too, right? That's right. Yeah. Well, thank you everyone for joining and thank you, especially to the crew that, that was willing to, you know, share their memories and their presentations. And you know, if any of you have, have other memories that you'd like to share, we're going to continue to publish anything that, that people want to, want to highlight best memories, contributions, summits, parties, whatever it might be. Let us know that you can contact Sunny or Allison, and we're going to continue to, to keep the celebration going. You know, we could have done it in person at, at our events throughout this year, but this is, you know, I think this has still been awesome and I've really enjoyed it. Been really special to hear from everyone. And by the way, our next summit is in October. It is going to be a virtual summit. So you should all be able to attend because I see that you're, you have the internet. So you're all capable of attending. So there's going to be a virtual summit in October. So look for, look for information on that. And we want everybody there. And maybe we can. Perspective is available. Oh, that's just Gary, right on cue. Kendall's working on it like right now. Yes. You'll, you'll get it soon, Gary. You'll be the first one. All right. We'll see you. Take care guys. Thank you. Bye bye. Thank you guys. Bye bye.
