Earlier this week, I attended the first two days of the OpenStack Design Summit out in Santa Clara, CA. Before I took off I grabbed sometime with Jim Curry, GM of Rackspace Cloud Builders and the leader of Rackpace’s OpenStack efforts.
I got Jim’s thoughts on how the summit was going, how the project was going as well as some breaking news.
Some of the ground Jim covers:
- Jim’s areas of responsibility
- How this week’s Design summit is different from the first two? (how its grown and changed)
- Some of the hot topics at this summit
- Breaking news re. the next release, Diablo, milestones and a regular cadence
- Note: I had a brain cramp and said Ubuntu follows the Mozilla schedule, I meant GNOME (go figure)
