Thank you Dave!

I am really excited about this, I think it will help grow the OpenStack 
community and benefit OpenStack ecosystem in so many ways. I cannot wait for 
the 2 1000 node clusters to go live and be available for large scale testing!

Hi Egle,

This is going to be fantastic for the community - we're finding a number of 
Enterprise ISVs that want to support OpenStack but don't have the 
resources/expertise to build/test at scale.   The Innovation Center offers a 
HUGE head start for those folks. It would be interesting, as you get closer to 
launch, to hear what the demand looks like. That will help us dial-up/dial-down 
our grassroots marketing :-D

Thanks for the note!

Subject: [Win The Enterprise-wg] Accelerating the Enterprise Adoption of 
OpenStack

Hello OpenStack Community,

I am very excited to let you know that today Rackspace and Intel announced our 
plans to form the "OpenStack Innovation Center," which is an exciting 
community-oriented initiative focused on accelerating the enterprise features 
and adoption of OpenStack.  This initiative includes:


·      Largest OpenStack Developer Cloud - We are building and making available 
to the community two 1,000 node clusters to support advanced, large-scale and 
testing of OpenStack.  The clusters should be available to the community within 
six months and you can sign up here<http://goo.gl/forms/vCkfNBmXm4> to receive 
updates on this effort.

·      OpenStack Developer Training - We are creating a new training curriculum 
designed to onboard and significantly increase the number of developers working 
upstream in the community.

·      Joint OpenStack Engineering - Rackspace and Intel developers will work 
together in collaboration with the Enterprise Work Group and community to 
eliminate bugs and develop new enterprise features.  Both companies will 
recruit new developers to help further OpenStack development.

·      OpenStack Innovation Center - The center will be comprised of Rackspace 
and Intel developers who will work upstream, using existing community tools and 
processes to improve the scalability, manageability and usability of OpenStack.
