 Well good morning everyone Welcome to The the general session kickoff of the open stack summit here in San Diego. I am Jonathan Bryce So happy to have you all here Who are you all? Where did you come from? This is a without a doubt. I think our our biggest summit yet by quite a bit You know, we we were thinking 1100 1200 1300 I think we're gonna be more like 1400 So so you know more attendees than ever before. Thank you for for coming more content than ever before we have 230 sessions that are covering Obviously the the design summit topics for each of our projects And then a variety of topics around users who are deploying open stack companies who are building products with open stack We have some great workshops that are happening in this room behind us here I stopped by yesterday, and it was completely packed people in there Deploying and learning open stack live and and on the scene so a lot of a lot of great stuff And and as I mentioned, you know, we had quite a few more attendees show up than we were expecting I feel like I need to scold some of you a little bit You know, you didn't register This you know this it's actually a few hundred of you that I need to scold We're glad to have you but next time please, you know, if you can register then we can make sure that we have food and chairs and Important things like that But you know the the line yesterday was was pretty crazy actually heard some people who are talking about scalping their their registration badges You know, we don't condone that but it's the free market. So whatever you need to do So just just you know big crowd like this one of the questions that I'd love to ask is how many of you are here at an open stack summit for the first time? Wow, this is amazing, you know, we ask this question a couple of times I mean we just keep getting more and more new people who are coming in and we missed the lights on that Who are coming in and you know getting involved and and really Continuing to grow the community and expand what we're doing and what we're able to do and it's just really exciting one of the other things that we're doing today that I think we'll we'll show some Some video of in a little bit is we were doing our first live stream We just decided to do it last week when when the summit sold out We had kind of been going back and forth, but it sold out and and so we decided you know Well, there are still a lot of people who want to participate. So let's do a live stream Initially we had something like 20 or 30 registrations I think we're gonna end up with a lot more people. We'll see how it how it goes as we go through the the show but you know, I think I think that it's it's just a really great opportunity for Open stack and for the community as a whole to be able to come by and you know, there's there's a lot of stuff going on this week but You know, maybe you've heard of some of the other Events that are going on there have been a few different cloud events. There's one that had open in the name Somebody said, you know, that we should maybe take issue with that. They like to get into a Comparisons of whose event is bigger how many people here this kind of thing, you know ours is definitely not the biggest but I feel like we probably get more work done than most other events and And that's what you know, our summits are really all about I dropped by the Mirantis event last night It was just behind the hotel here and there were a lot of people there eating some good food enjoying a few drinks Roman from Mirantis was on the turntables over there deejaying it up and the conversations that were going on were around You know, what's gonna be happening with quantum? How are we going to deal with this and networking? What are we gonna be doing for metering? How do we strengthen the? You know the QA systems, how do we throw better events in Europe? You know people come here and and it's awesome because the conversations that go through the day into the night It's all about you know making open stack better and and so, you know, that's that's so awesome to see all of that happening I don't know what happened after that at the dream host party You know, hopefully they didn't keep you up too late, but I guess we'll see who is who's missing today as the day goes through Some housekeeping So, you know these weeks are very valuable. They also Cost money to put on and we try to keep the cost down for our attendees because we think it's it's it is very valuable It's very important for everyone to be able to get together on a regular basis like this Thankfully, we have some amazing sponsors who who pick up most of the cost the bulk of the costs of the summit are covered not by any any registration fee that you may pay but by these sponsors and we HP Nebula Rackspace and Ubuntu are our headline sponsors And you know, I just want to say thank you to them and and you know, it's it's so critical that that that we have them We also have premier sponsors You know, some of you might notice a new name up there, which is awesome expanding the community and And then we have a number of other sponsors who are Who are event sponsors and startup sponsors? So thanks to all of them, you know, let's just give them a round of applause real quick Now they they just happen to conveniently have booths right outside this door here You may have walked by when you came in. They're also outside the doors to the breakfast and lunch So, you know, I you cannot avoid them Stop by say hi say thank you The other thing that's been great too is is the the the announcements that have been coming out this week And they're you know too many for me to remember But you know, we've had some good announcements from dream host from net app from solid fire from Zedara from Mito cura more flabs media temple You know, it's like I said, this is really an event where a lot of stuff happens A lot of a lot of things come together and get get launched get finished get worked on so it's a it's This is a good week for open stack So where is all of this stuff happening? We are on level two of the Hyatt In San Diego just in case you're really lost and Level two has the the lunch room back there. This is the general session room and there are a couple of other rooms here There's a schedule that we have the link. It's it's on the back of your badge I don't have my badge on but if you look on the back of your badge There's a link to to sked org that has where all the sessions are happening and these rooms are named on there If you go up a level you can take the escalators right out here That's where all the design summit sessions are happening and and it kind of wraps around and then we have we haven't expanded developer lounge this time If you need to find a place to go plug in on some power and get some work done The third level is a great spot for that as well One of the other things that we're doing this time around that is that's pretty neat as we have a number of ad hoc tracks So today through Thursday, there's actually an unconference. It's going on in Maggie, which is on the third floor so Maggie is is On the third floor kind of at the end of the hall and there's a sign-up board outside if you want to do a session on on you know anything that's related to OpenStack, but that is not an official design summit topic you can go up there you can sign up get it on the schedule and You know get people to come talk about whatever it is that you need to do. We're also Doing lightning talks. We did them yesterday. We're doing them today and tomorrow Manchester a which is over here has a has a sign-up board for that if you have a short presentation It doesn't have to be OpenStack related. I've seen some really awesome lightning talks over the years If there's anything that you are Interested in and sharing I've seen homebrew lightning talks. I've seen you know all sorts of technology ones obviously but Sign up over there and then one of the other events that we're doing tomorrow morning As you may know we we now have an OpenStack foundation We're gonna talk about that in a little bit the foundation has a board of directors and the the board of directors are going to be Available tomorrow morning. We're doing breakfast with the board. This is a great time for you know for People who don't know who's on the board or maybe you don't know all the people who are on the board to come and And spend some time with the board get together and and that's going to be tomorrow morning at at 745 And then as always We have a number of evening events. There are two per evening this evening We have a a rack space event and an a nebula event Tomorrow we have HP at the children's museum and we have Stingery nightclub Which is Piston's event and is that a sock hop or something or no? Okay, they always do interesting ones and and then Thursday There's a Morph labs and media temple event where they're serving breakfast for dinner and finally The the other thing that we're doing this time around is a as a service day that's on Friday So Friday morning, we are going down to Mission Beach and we're going to clean up the beach There's a it's called the surf rider foundation. They they actually coordinate these kinds of activities in a lot of places to keep beaches clean and fun and So Friday morning after a week of open stacking We can go down there and make the beach a little more beautiful and leave San Diego a little nicer than Then when we came all right so I want to just talk a little bit about some of the progress that that we've made and I Know that many of you are fairly up-to-date on the foundation Some of you are not so I wanted to also cover a couple of slides on the open-stack foundation itself And you know, we are around all week I'm available to answer any questions or talk about any any concerns or Anything that you would like to address while we're here And then and then you know, I have just some some closing thoughts about Some things that I love about our community so, you know, we we talked about Some of the companies who've been sponsoring our activities, you know, this is a from launch through two years we've seen an amazing growth and and the number of companies who are getting involved in a variety of ways in open stack and And you know as I'm going to touch on later it that translates to a lot of great things for for the software and also for You know for our developers for our users for our community as a whole You can see that this translates into developer growth. Many of these companies are hiring developers You know, I'm most of you who are here as a developer are Employed at one of these companies working on open stack. That's great. You know that that kind of thing is is happening But you know, you can see the trajectory is pretty similar. You can look at code The code that's getting produced follows a very similar path as well You know nearly six hundred thousand lines of code now, I think five hundred ninety six thousand across our open stack projects the summits We need to make that bar a little bit higher for this one, but again, you know, it continues to grow and And you know, why why do we talk about that? We talk about that because as the community grows as More companies get involved as more developers get involved as the software matures It really creates a lot of opportunity for all of us whether it we are an individual developer Whether we are a user who is trying to find the right solution to automate our compute storage and networking to run our infrastructure Or whether we are an individual technical contributor who wants to be able to work on a project That's interesting with people that we like to go hang out with every six months and you know different locations all over the place that's you know, this growth powers all of that and And is really an amazing engine for for driving the progress that that open stack has made And as I mentioned now we have a foundation So this is something that I think you know is a is a huge step for For open stack as a project we are a little over two years into this and as we all know Open stack started in 2010 rack space and NASA really kicked it off then and We you know, we basically have have grown and grown and grown and gone to the point where now as a community We are independent and in control of our own destiny and that's really what the foundation is all about You know, it's it's independent. It's well-funded. It has great support from from a broad base of membership and it has you know, ultimately the The ownership over the open stack name and and the mandate to go out and keep open stack growing and thriving So that's that is you know, a great place to be in we we don't have to worry about worst-case scenarios with With one company or another company, you know We have a secure and independent home for the long term that that's going to be able to to really Take care of open stack and you know, I mean we were very early on in the foundation I think we have a great start, but there are obviously areas to improve You know, I don't think anyone is is going to disagree with that and and you know We we want to constantly make it better and better all of us who are involved in the foundation Whether it's as staff or as board members, you know, we are just very excited We had a board meeting yesterday and our board meetings generally run long Because everybody likes to talk about this stuff, you know, we all care about it But it's it's something where you know, we're all excited to continue helping the community and really you know to do what we can To to just keep this thing going and going so a couple of slides just as an overview for those of you who are Maybe not completely up to date on how the foundation is organized so there are three levels of of membership within the foundation, there's individual membership, which that's a Membership level that's free to join you can run for various offices You can vote for those offices Totally free and we have well over 6,000 individual members from all over the world they represent 850 900 organizations and 88 countries so it's you know very distributed really Really interesting to to see who all has has come and joined how many of you here are individual members in the foundation right now? Okay, good. It's a good percentage of you. That's great Then we have two levels of membership for for for companies there's platinum members who contribute funds and actually dedicate full-time employees to the project and we have eight of those and the those Platinum members appointed director to the board the individual members elect eight directors to the board the platinum members Appoint eight directors to the board and the gold members who also contribute funds and and resources Elect members to the board from from their membership class. So there are eight members as well. So we have a pretty big board It's 24 members You know tomorrow morning you can come meet hopefully all of them and We have just a I think there may be one who is not here who wasn't able to make it but you can come meet basically the entire board and You know see who they are. We have board members in China We have board member from Taiwan board member from Geneva board member from Australia and then Several from from the US. So it's a it's a broad group that is that's doing a lot of different things and And we have some users represented. We have obviously companies that are in the open-stack ecosystem So these are the corporate members the the platinum members the eight who are You know at the platinum level and then the the gold members who are also, you know part of the the foundation and and so The board is You know a very important component of the structure the board is legally responsible for the foundation entity itself So what does that mean the foundation entity has a budget? It has assets like the trademark What it does not have is? control over the code control over the development process that and this is a you know a really key thing that that we wanted to keep in place was a a way for there to be a technical meritocracy that continued and was actually carved in stone in our bylaws and and so the technical meritocracy is is overseen by the technical committee and the project technical leads That have that have been running the projects for you know for for several years now I guess a little over two years now The the technical committee is responsible for the technical direction for decisions around incubation for Decisions around what kind of projects like? Dev stack or open stack ci or open stack comment You know the things that we have that help us build great software You know which ones we need to put an official stamp on and and really get support behind all of that lies within the technical committee and And the technical committee is is chosen completely 100% by the the active technical contributors who are making code contributions Into and documentation contributions and other types of contributions into the open-stack projects Another new component that we have is a user committee and and the user committee is meant to really pull in users and get their their needs their desires heard and And and published out so that we can all know exactly You know where we should be heading what things we need in the project and pain points that people are having You know we've we've had users who've been coming to design summits for a while But one of the things that we've heard as we've gotten more and more users is is that it you know The design summit sessions are not always the right forum for them We've heard that from the developers as well And so one of the things that we've done in this summit here is we have we have kind of a broad range of content So hopefully users who are just getting started. They can come to a workshop. They can come to some introductory sessions You know if they are looking towards Contributing and becoming developers they can head to a to a design summit session or two as well But we really want to make sure that we are we're producing content and creating structures that are going to to make the the different constituents that we have happy and satisfied and able to to get what they need out of open-stack and We actually have a foundation staff So we have we have five people right now who are working for the foundation full-time I am mark Collier is as well Laurencelle Stefanoma Fooley Terry Perez You probably know all of these names if you've been involved in open-stack You know, we've all been been working with with the community for quite a while now And we're also hiring we want to to hire another six or seven positions over the next few months and and so that's a that's that's an opportunity for for some of you who you know have maybe been involved in building the community as a part of your job or as a hobby and You know if you are really passionate about this come join us and do it full-time and help us make this thing great You know that it is something that that it's it's a lot of work But it's the kind of opportunity to to build a community and and a project that Really doesn't come along very often so open stack dot org flash jobs If you go there, you will see a lot of jobs not just for us But for other companies as well, but you can find the the positions that are available for the for the open-stack foundation so You know just as as we wrap up here I wanted to to just touch on as I said earlier, you know three things that I love about open-stack and And about our community and you know, we've come a long way I showed the stat earlier of almost 600,000 lines of code when when open-stack started two years ago There was a nine thousand line contribution for the compute piece 20,000 line contribution for the object storage piece. It's less than 30,000 lines of code and in two years We have now gotten to six hundred thousand lines of code over six hundred developers have contributed I think somewhere around forty five thousand Contributions and change sets that have come in that's really incredible There are not very many software projects out there that have that kind of engagement and volume and and of those six hundred developers That have contributed, you know in the last two years 415 of them have contributed in the last 12 months So, you know, you can look at those stats and you can see that that people come in they They contribute they get engaged That's 80% of the people who've ever contributed have been have continued to contribute have contributed in the last year The last release we had over 400 who who contributed code So it's it's great to see all of that that involvement. We've come a long way But you know, we have a lot to do but I think that we're gonna succeed And and I think there are a lot of reasons that that we're set up to succeed But I just picked out three that that I really like you know the first one and This one is is maybe a You know one that gets talked about in in a different way sometimes but I think that that our users are really going to be a key to our success and The reason is because our users are not just customers They're not just people who are who are getting our software But our users are really part of our community overall and we have a number of users who are here We have a number who are doing presentations Living social is talking about their usage Comcast CERN is talking about how they're using it eBay Sina from China Mercado Libre from Argentina, you know, we've got a lot of users who are here others who are you know Who are just here to participate? Wikimedia Ryan Lane, I know many of you know him from Wikimedia. He's here Deutsche telecom You know, there are a lot of them here and tomorrow morning during our keynotes We are going to to be hearing from Cisco WebEx and and on the production workloads that they're running on OpenStack So we you know, we have we have a lot of users We have more users coming just in the time that I've been here I have talked to people who are right now deploying OpenStack clouds that range from 10 nodes to 10,000 nodes And that is you know, you see that happening and that's just really awesome You know, they they admit that as they are heading towards 10,000 nodes. They are going to be some some great things to figure out You know, that's why we have why we have our developers and you know The users are really they're putting a lot of trust in us But they are also wanting to engage and the reason that I think this is a real strength for us is they are engaging in a Way that most customers and users don't and we need to keep that up, you know It's a big responsibility. We have to keep listening to their needs and and you know this summit this week We have many users. We have many potential users here. So users developers Let's let's make sure that we are we're making the most of this time We had a Tron themed t-shirt this summer that you might have seen that that said, you know I fight for the users and and I think that this is a great chance for us to do that From the foundation side, we're going to continue to invest in in how we Educate users how we get them integrated into community We're going to continue to improve the the meet-ups that we do the user groups that we do Sean Roberts from Yahoo is is right here he's doing a lot of great stuff in the Bay Area with their user groups and and I think you know He's been he's been experimenting with some different ways to to bring users in at different levels of interest And those are things that we want to figure out how to turn into a system that we can expand around the world You know, that's what we want to we want to do is we want to take those best practices and share them and make it work everywhere And as I mentioned in the foundation section, we have a user committee now Tim, I don't know if you're out there, but I meant to ask you if I could put your email up here before I did it So I am a I'm asking for forgiveness instead of permission But but Tim Bell is has been appointed as the first member of the user committee if you are a user and And you want to get involved? Contact him. I I have had a couple conversations with him And I know he wants to he wants to have people reach out and wants to Understand what what the best ways are to to structure the user committee so that it's really valuable But you know contact him now we'll get that off the screen The second thing that I think is is a is an amazing asset is the the international nature of OpenStack I don't know of any other project out there that has the international community that we have at this stage It's it's really, you know just incredible and let's just you know Let's just ask a few questions here. You know, do we have anyone from so I'm from Canada, Sean You're from Canada Do we have anyone from Canada here? Let's get some hands up Can we get the lights up a little bit out there too, maybe? Yeah, so okay great, so we've got some Canadians the nicest people on earth What about France I know we have some French people here. Yes, okay little French contingent on this side the UK Okay, great. Yes Austria Florian So that China Okay, there's a quite a crew over here. Thank you for making that trip. It's a long flight Japan Yes, this is great South Africa Excellent so That's six continents Antarctica Anyone Not yet. All right Ozzie oh, Australia. I'm sorry Well, I know I talked to Tristan a lot yesterday, but yes, Australia. We got a few over here, too but yeah, I mean that that's amazing right, you know, that's here just in one room and and you go out and You look at if you go over to the lunchroom We have flags from where we have user groups all over the world and it's it's really amazing to see how this is spreading And I think that that you know, there's a lot that we can do to keep that going It's it's basically been happening on its own and you know now It's time for us to really accelerate that and support that When we did the foundation launch, we actually did a we basically offered a an opportunity for these user groups to do a global Meetup and it was awesome to see the response that we had we had over 20 global meet-ups on the day that the foundation launched on September 19th and You know Jakarta, we had people in in France. We had people in China Japan all over the place and you know, I mean These people look happy don't they? That's what I that's one of the things I love is people are happy to be part of OpenStack The other thing that was great is you know We made this foundation badge and we were rushing trying to get everything together trying to do all the legal stuff And the business stuff and the communication stuff and we put this badge together for the for the foundation launch pretty much right before it and it was it was really cool to see how many of these groups went out and printed t-shirts they printed See, I think we've got some There were some signs that the people printed might not have that picture in there But people were printing signs t-shirts stickers You know and I think that's that's awesome It's one thing we did learn is that it's really hard to do global payments So you know if you are still waiting for your payment, we're working on it. It will get to you I'm sorry, but we'll figure that out so we can do more of these You know what we want to do is we want to we want to Figure out how to harness all of this energy and this excitement that's all over the world And so one of the things that we're going to be launching in the next year is It's something we call our ambassador program We have a great community of organizers from all over the world You know Tristan from down in Australia We have we Chang and Yuji do in China We have Raphael and Nikolas and Maya at you know Vance in France You know and so many others a tool job in India There there are so many people out there who are really they're they love open-stack and they want to go out there And they want to do something locally and and so we're going to be rolling out an ambassador program to to help these people to give them resources to share best practices and And to make sure you know that we're connected with them with all of the places that that open stack is spreading So if you know if you are interested in being part of the ambassador program You can reach out to Stefan Oma Fooley who is our community manager? He's running around here to I don't know. Oh, he's over here on the end. He's here all week but talk to Stefan O and You know we can we can get you involved and and continue to spread the the the open-stack fever all over the world The other thing that that we want to do is You know we think it's time to to take the summit on the road And so next year we really want to to try to do a summit internationally We probably are not going to be able to get it done by the spring. So we're looking at the fall and and you know we need to actually Start to make decisions fairly quickly on this. So we want to start a process now. This is another email address Events at open stack org if you have a location that you want to to suggest or pitch us on I was talking with some people last night at the Mirantis event and we were making IOC comparisons So I'll just for the record. I don't take bribes, but you know if you have good information about Locations that you think would be a great spot for a summit Let us know and also tell us, you know where you where you'd be able to go where would be hard to go? because ultimately and the point of the design summit and and these events is to get our community together to work to Plan the release and and so you know we have to make sure that we are making the right decision for the community So so you know we want to hear from you. Let us know events at open stack org where Internationally would be a great spot to to have a summit next year the final thing that that I think is really great about open stack is is the passion and You know you hear about open stack you see the news the analyst reports. There are a lot of words that get put out there You know you have hype Debate heated discussion and put a lot of words on it But the one I like is passion, you know It's we have a lot of passion about what we do how we do it, you know, who's doing it with us and We have passion because we care We have engagement and so many aspects of open stack from the development process to You know the foundation and and I love that people care that much about the governance of the foundation it's it's something that you know people are they really feel invested in this and When that kind of investment is there then it's a it's a great opportunity for us to continue to do great things You know there are some people who paint open stack almost as it's kind of this faceless conglomeration of corporate interests But you know when I'm here, that's not what I see I see an excited group of people Who are doing great work at at an awesome pace and I just I want to show you a little video that I that I took yesterday so this was a Yesterday morning for the general session. I I came down and was coming in and this was the line You know to get in is this an iPhone 5 launch? No This is an open-source conference And we we wrapped around the escalators all the way around the lobby out the doors Down the stairs around the corner down the stairs, you know Yes, so That's that's a you know, I mean why do people do that kind of thing? It's because they care now after I took that video. We did let everybody come in but I did want to get the video first And if you haven't gotten your badge, please get your badge still So, you know, it's something where where people come and they care about this and as I mentioned we we sold out the event You know, we've got people crowded out here in the hall So we're we did a live stream and we we lot thought okay first live stream 30 40 50 You know, I want to show you some some data right now from our live stream. Can we pop that up here? so in addition to the 1200 1300 people who are here we have 331 people right now who are watching with us online So, you know wave to them. Hello world You know, can we can we see where they're from do we have any of the map data? So we've got to the US Canada looks like Russia India South America Europe You know people everywhere they care about OpenStack. They care about what we're doing here right now That is a that's something that we should all feel great about being part of So, you know to close I just want to say thank you all. I know many of you have have done Things well above and beyond what's required of you within your within your companies your organizations your regions to promote OpenStack and And you know, we really appreciate that so I think we're gonna have a good week We already had some some good days or some good sessions yesterday. We've got a lot more planned I hope we can all get a lot out of this and and have a really productive week So thank you again to everyone for your passion for coming here. Let's have a great week
