About a month ago, LA had its third OpenStack\u2122 Meetup,\u00a0\u201cThis Calls for Essex-y Party\u201d<\/a>. \u00a0The atmosphere was electric and the air was thick with love \u2013 love for OpenStack and burritos.<\/p>\n\"\"\n

It could have been that many of us were still flying high from the OpenStack Summit\/Conference that occurred the week before.\u00a0 It could have been\u00a0that we were excited for the\u00a0Essex release<\/a>\u00a0that dropped in early April. \u00a0Or perhaps it was our anticipation for the future of OpenStack \u2013 code-named Folsom.\u00a0 Whatever the reason, we were all on cloud nine.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>With our bellies full of big fat burritos and a couple of Mexican beers, we kicked off the fiesta with a presentation from\u00a0Sean Roberts<\/a>, who is in charge of Infrastructure Strategy atYahoo!<\/a>.\u00a0 DreamHost\u2019s Cloud Architect,\u00a0Carl Perry<\/a>, anchored the Meetup with the second presentation.\u00a0 For your eyeball and earball pleasure, I\u2019ve included the videos below with a brief description of what was covered.<\/p>\n

Sean presented on the recently released Essex version of OpenStack, and talked about the future of Folsom. He also touched upon the newly formed OpenStack Foundation. \u00a0(I experimented with a wireless mic and failed at capturing almost half of the Q\/A. Lesson learned.)<\/p>\n
