Slideshow: Here’s What You Missed at OpenStack Vancouver

It’s too bad the OpenStack Summit changes cities every year, because I think a lot of us would be content to keep going back to Vancouver.

The Vancouver Convention Centre sits right on the waterfront, overlooking the mountains. From the expo floor, huge windows give you a view of the seaplanes taking off and landing. You just don’t get that in the underground halls of San Francisco’s Moscone Center.

So that’s the excuse Keith Griffith and I are using for posting this slideshow of OpenStack Vancouver. The atmosphere brought out the shutterbug in both of us. We’ll look forward to the upcoming OpenStack Summits in Tokyo and Austin, Texas — but speaking just for myself, I’ll still be pining away for Vancouver.\
