Tracking OpenStack adoption / Discussion at Summit
One of the objectives of the OpenStack Foundation is to “Make OpenStack the ubiquitous cloud operating system”. In order to reach that objective the Foundation needs to understand more about the usage of the OpenStack software. OpenStack distributions are requested to participate in this conversation at the OpenStack Design Summit.
