OpenStack allows any organization to create and offer cloud computing capabilities using open source software running on standard hardware. OpenStack Compute is software for automatically creating and managing large groups of virtual private servers. OpenStack Storage is software for creating redundant, scalable object storage using clusters of commodity servers to store terabytes or even petabytes of data.

Come learn how this killer new project changes the competitive landscape.

A big thanks to the following sponsors for making this event happen:

You might want to address adaptive resource pricing mechanisms in the cloud.

Yes, the OpenStack meetup had to be pushed back to today, so there's now a choice to make :-)

Apparently you're attending both of them, Sebastian. Neat trick!

We got the T-shirts, we ate the pizza, we drank the kool-aid. It was a great community building talk. It was a bit lite on technical details. For those who want to dig a bit deeper:
The compute part of OpenStack is a NASA project called Nova. The web site for it is:
http://nova.openstack.org
The storage part of OpenStack is a Rackable project called Swift. The web site for it is:
http://swift.openstack.org
Neither of these sites are obvious from the OpenStack home page or wiki.

Hi folks - my company (http://mixpanel.com), an analytics startup, is looking for an Operations Engineer. We use Python, the cloud, and awesome software like mongoDB and Cassandra. Additionally we're funded, have an office in SF, and are a small team.

If this seems at all intriguing please email me: tim@mixpanel.com

Just curious, why were so many people interested in this particular meetup? On the surface an open source cloud doesn't seem that sexy. Is there anything deeper going on?

Hi guys,
It was great to attend the openstack talk and discussion a couple of weeks ago.
I've started a blog on addressing the current developments related to cloud computing technologies. Its at vinayvenkat.wordpress.com

Your comments will be greatly appreciated. Stay tuned for posts related to openstack!
Thanks!
