Over 7,500 sys-admins, app developers, and other IT professionals from over 50 countries will gather this weekend in Austin, Texas for
The OpenStack Foundation's OpenStack Summit 2016 [openstack.org]. Red Hat and VMWare are among the sponsors for an event which includes "a semi-annual opportunity for contributors to the open source software to gather to determine the requirements for the next software releases and collaborate with other community members," according to one technology site. They described the last summit as
"a mind-spinning display of frankness that would be inconceivable at a vendor conference," [thenewstack.io] and this edition includes sessions called "Horror Stories: How we keep breaking the Scheduler at Scale!” and "Interoperability: The Elephants in the Room". Seeing their developer community as active co-creators, the summit aims to promote the open source software and manage its user and development communities. OpenStack was developed in 2010 as a joint Open Source project between NASA and Rackspace, and a new OpenStack product called BareMetal now allows virtual machines to be installed directly onto hardware instead of hosting through an operating system.
