TITLE: Open Source Contribution Revelation, OpenStack Frienemies
ABSTRACT:
The goal to build an open source version of software defined infrastructure required many ideas and people to be successful. Strong partnerships have evolved from the collaboration on this common goal. These partnerships are not obvious and in many cases contradictory. OpenStack frenemies are a strong part of what makes this open source project successful.
After the talk the speakers will lead a tutorial/hack session on OpenStack:
