What is OpenStack?
OpenStack is open source software to build private, public and hybrid
clouds.
Mission Statement:
“To produce the ubiquitous open source cloud computing platform that will meet
the needs of public and private cloud providers regardless of size, by being
simple to implement and massively scalable.”

Signs of Growth
• Summit attendance doubles every six months
• Rackspace code contributions increase, but
load share decreases
• Mainstream deployments increasing
• Adopting companies increasing
• Grassroots user groups and meetups
• Number of countries where deployed
• Feature expansion and maturation
