OpenStack Israel June 2014

Closing Panel

In this closing panel of today's OpenStack Israel conference, we would like to explore a defining feature of the OpenStack community, namely the coexistence of...

Collaborative development

&

Competitive business

And now that OpenStack is going into its 5th year and the business community around it is maturing, and with it the associated competition, maybe it's time to ask:

Have the gloves

come off?

Is this the end of the honeymoon? Are the forces of competition taking over? Or is this is a great new opportunity for OpenStack to maintain its collaborative engineering model while fostering competitive business?

Get involved!

Benny

Ravello Systems

Co-founder, chairman and president at Ravello systems and the only Israeli on our panel -- as such, he certainly needs no introduction to the following concept, which, however, I'll briefly explain for our other speakers. (This is arguably one of the most important concepts I've been confronted with in this country.)

תַּכְלֵס

It's a bit difficult to translate tachles in a way that fully grasps the concept, but when applied to conversation straight talk or hard talk is probably a good-enough approximation. Let me put it this way: in this country, it's considered rude to beat around the bush. So please take this as an invitation to speak your mind freely, it will be much appreciated. So with this we go to our first question:

Is there, or has there ever been, a policy in effect at your company to

discourage collaboration

between your own OpenStack engineers and those of any other company?

In the OpenStack space, where is real

innovation

happening?

How does

marketing mind share

compare with

user base market share?

Should Ubuntu have gone

all cloud

instead of

cloud and mobile?

Is it a

missed opportunity

for the Foundation to not act as an independent

certification body

for OpenStack knowledge?

What is the

greatest benefit

that

distro vendors

add to the OpenStack community?

What is the

greatest benefit

that

public cloud providers

add to the OpenStack community?

Where is the greatest potential for

disruptive business

built on OpenStack?
