The OpenStack Foundation

The OpenStack Foundation was created in 2012 with the simple mission to protect, empower, and promote OpenStack software and the community around it.

Since the Foundation's initial formation, there have been more than fifteen OpenStack Summits. The OpenStack Summit is an incredible gathering of more than 5,000 software developers, CIOs, systems engineers, and technical writers from all over the world. Membership of the foundation is free and accessible to anyone; everyone from individual contributors to large enterprises are members, including companies like AT&T, Red Hat, Rackspace, Ubuntu, SUSE, Google, and IBM.

Even if you haven't used OpenStack yet, join the OpenStack Foundation! It's fast, free, and fun. https://www.openstack.org/join/ .
