We are celebrating the 8th birthday of OpenStack with the entire OpenStack community during July! OpenStack is an integration engine for diverse technologies, fostering collaboration among emerging communities, and the Foundation facilitates the development of many innovative projects in the open infrastructure space. None of it would be possible without the quickly growing, global community. There are now more than 90,000 community members across 183 countries and more than 670 supporting companies. We think that deserves a worldwide celebration!<\/p>\n\"\"<\/a>\n
