July 19 marks the 6th birthday of OpenStack, and we\u2019re celebrating with the entire OpenStack community during July!

There are now more than 54,000 community members, over 80 global user groups across 179 countries and more than 600 supporting companies. We think that deserves a worldwide celebration!<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\"OS_6th_Sticker_Blue\"<\/a> \"OS_6th_Sticker_White\"<\/a> \"OS_6th_Sticker_Gray\"<\/a>\"OS_6th_Sticker_A\"<\/a>\n
