As we prepare for events this year, OpenStack Foundation (OSF) is closely monitoring the situation surrounding COVID-19 (coronavirus disease) to ensure the safety and wellbeing of our attendees.

OpenDev + PTG(Vancouver 2020)

Based on the input from the community, board, and the latest information available from the health experts, we've made the decision not to hold the OpenDev + PTG in Vancouver in June. Instead, we're exploring ways to turn it into a virtual event and would love the help of everyone in the community. The OpenDev + PTG landing pagewill be updated with event details as they are finalized.

Open Infrastructure Summit(Berlin 2020)

The Open Infrastructure Summit on October 19-23, 2020 in Berlin, Germany is currently planned to proceed as scheduled. We will continue to publish updates as the situation develops and will be following the recommended guidelines provided by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the World Health Organization (WHO), as well as local health agencies, airports and venues.

Onsite at the Summit, we plan to take the following measures, and this list is subject to change as we approach the event:

  • Keeping up to date information around this situation on our event websites, as well as emailing registered attendees.
  • Posting signage on-site with best practices for yourself and fellow attendees, including implementing a "no handshake" rule.
  • Providing sanitation stations throughout the venue.
  • Requesting that anyone sick or experiencing any cold/flu-like symptoms stay home.
  • Encouraging attendees and exhibitors to follow regular CDC guidance for everyday preventive actions.

We will be closely monitoring the situation leading up to the events and will be updating this page with any relevant facts as they're made available.
