I was very ecstatic \u00a0to attend the recently concluded OpenStack Summit in Vancouver. While the summit was the main focal point of my trip, I was elated to bump into my friends and colleagues. After almost five years I was reunited with my very old friend Razique & Heiko.During the initial days of the documentation project I was involved in working with these guys, it was a joy to be reunited again. At the summit I also met Alex & Sam from The New Stack team and we got to discuss about the future of Openstack.<\/p>\n

During dinner at Vietnamese food joint, we made a small podcast about the event<\/a> besides writing down a post on determining the health of the OpenStack project<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Below are some of my notes determined from the overall event itself:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The event venue was simply fabulous where WIFI worked most of the time and saw an attendance of over 6000+ attendees.<\/li>\n
  2. The format of the event was modified to include container day<\/b> as well as OPNFV day<\/b>, a good initiative to widen the ecosystem.<\/li>\n
  3. Seems like everyone is talking about OpenStack , even those who mocked it during inception.<\/li>\n
  4. Containers was the buzzword. Everyone was talking about it.<\/li>\n
  5. During the initial days, the champions for projects were acquired by traditional vendors.<\/li>\n
  6. A lot of developers and early advocates have moved on to newer things which brings about new faces and talent. I guess it is a part of the overall evolution process.<\/li>\n
  7. Neutron and OpenStack documentation is still an unsolved mystery and I am not sure if it can be solved.<\/li>\n
  8. OpenStack has a total of twelve integrated projects that will explode in a year and the foundation is working on better ways to manage them.<\/li>\n
  9. The marketplace where vendors were showcasing product was absolute fun, most of them had no projects specific to OpenStack.<\/li>\n
  10. Accepting one click upgrade option inside OpenStack was considered wishful thinking. Now vendors like Red Hat, Mirantis or Canonical will be able to do it for your enterprise.<\/li>\n
  11. It was good to see representatives from almost all major system integrators in India attending the summit and wanting to be part of it.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The next summit is to be held \u00a0in Tokyo, I personally have no idea if I will be present, but given the opportunity I may just go.Last but not the least thanks to OpenStack Foundation for keeping the project intact for a successful period of five years. Here\u2019s to hoping the momentum continues.<\/p>\n
