Another great day at the OpenStack Design Summit in beautiful San Antonio, Texas.

Here are some of the highlights:

• A lot of great business and technical discussions including details around the upcoming Bexar release.  Important discussions around brand, trademarking, governance, and use cases.
• Caught wind of an OpenStack conference happening in Tokyo next week – very cool!  Get more info at openstack.org if you want more info.
• Had a lot of attendees take me up on a live tour of the Dell PowerEdge C gear at the summit, which will be powering the InstallFest Thursday and Friday.  Lots of questions around the particular models represented (which includes PE-C 6100, 6105, 2100, and 1100).   If you’re still at the event, and interested in checking it out, find a Dell guy (there are a few of us around today) or tweet me @jbgeorge, and we’ll get you a sneak peek.
• Barton George (@barton808) has posted a number of great interviews and videos from the event – be sure to check it out at www.bartongeorge.net
• Captured a few pictures of the business sessions yesterday, which had a lot of great discussion

Again, for the latest happenings at the Design Summit, search Twitter for #openstack (direct link = http://twitter.com/#search?q=%23openstack).  You can also learn more about OpenStack at www.openstack.org.

I’ll actually be heading back today, so will miss a bulk of the InstallFest (work beckons!) 

Was great seeing everyone again, and look forward to the next one!

Until next time,
