About OpenStack Foundation (OSF)

The OpenStack Foundation (OSF) is a non-profit (501c6) organization founded in 2012 to help people build and operate open infrastructure.

​

With 105,000 members in 187 countries from 675 organizations, OSF is one of the largest global open source foundations in the world.

​

OSF is backed by over 100 companies including Gold & Platinum members.

In 2010 we started the OpenStack project to bring open infrastructure automation to the world

In the beginning…

In 2012 we gave Open Infrastructure a home by creating the OpenStack Foundation (OSF)

OSF early years

For the first five years of the OpenStack Foundation (2012-2017), the main priority was to steward the OpenStack project, community and supporting ecosystem.

​

During that time the OpenStack project matured, gained adoption and the community thrived.

Mission:

Help People Build & Operate Open Infrastructure

Creating open source software for infrastructure, which today includes Airship, Kata Containers, OpenStack, StarlingX & Zuul.

is infrastructure powered by open source components, for environments ranging from Data Center Cloud to Edge Computing, for apps ranging from enterprise to AI/ML, 5G and beyond.

Collaborating without boundaries, across open source communities, to make open source components work together, through continuous integration testing, as well as knowledge sharing via docs, reference architectures, and online & offline collaboration.

ORGANIZATIONS

The OpenStack Foundation uses an open collaboration model that includes as many individuals and organizations as possible, on a level playing field, where everyone is invited to design open infrastructure software.

​

The Four Opens:

Open Source | Open Design | Open Development | Open Community

�From Community, where anyone is welcome to contribute; to Design, where diverse ideas are shared before the coding begins; to Development, when every patch is visible and tested before it lands; to the Source code itself, which is shared with the world: each is critical to how we deliver open source.

Guiding Principles: ‘Four Opens’

• We reach over 20,000 people at 30+ events around the world each year, including the global Open Infrastructure Summits, OpenDev, regional OpenStack Days and OpenInfra Days, and local User Group meetups
• We have established a strong volunteer network who organize hundreds of meetups and OpenInfra Days events; they are interested in supporting more open infrastructure projects
• We host a publication called Superuser Magazine, which attracts 30,000-40,000 unique visitors per month, and topics range from cloud strategy to technical how-to’s and user profiles
• We have established PR/AR channels�in US, Europe & Asia,and can support�global marketing efforts
• We have established strong social�media channels and websites, which�reach millions of people each year

Open Infrastructure Summit hosted by OSF

osf.dev

The Open Infrastructure Summit takes place twice a year and relocates each time.

The Summits are three days of keynotes, breakout sessions, expo hall, developer and operator working sessions.

The next Open Infrastructure Summit will be in Shanghai, November 4-6.

At the Shanghai Summit, you will meet people from over 50 countries and 600 companies using and contributing to over 35 open source projects.

More information at openstack.org/summit

Open Infrastructure Summit

The PTG is twice a year, and provides meeting facilities allowing the various technical community groups working on OSF projects to meet in-person, exchange and get work done in a productive setting.

The next PTG will be in Shanghai, co-located with the Summit, November 5 - 8.

Who should attend? Developers, operators and end users who are involved or hoping to get involved in an OSF project contributor group that decided to meet at the PTG.
