A Hangout Today- Open Conversation on OpenStack: Why Does This Community Keep Growing?

At 2:15 p.m. PST today, Rishidot Co-Founder Krishnan Subramanian will host a hangout on Google+. It’s the first of a series of hangout style events Rishidot will host.

Here are the details:

When: 2:15 PM PST

Where: To join the discussion, visit my Google+ page at the time or add me to your Google+ circles. It will also be livestreamed on our Youtube Channel.

Matt Weinberger and I will be on hand. According to the Rishidot blog, here are some of the other people who have confirmed their participation in the event.

  • Dave Cahill, Director of Strategic Alliances at SolidFire
  • Narendar Shankar, Senior Director of Product Management at Nexenta
  • Boris Renski Jr., Co-founder & CMO at Mirantis
  • Ben Kepes, Diversity Limited
  • Niki Acosta, Evangelist, Rackspace CloudBuilders
  • Florian Otel, HP

My questions: Why does this community keep growing? What does open even mean anymore? And – why is there hostility towards the movement? What are the threats posed by OpenStack?

Hope to see you there.
