“OpenStack appears to be a more advanced or more modern open source project
than some of its predecessors because it's a highly coordinated effort.”

OpenStack Developers: In Their Own Words
OpenStack is really an amazing project and it makes me want to work
for it anywhere, at any time, with any device that can access Gerrit
- Jay Lau, Advisory Software Engineer, IBM CSTL
The ease with which you can have an impact in the community and learn
for yourself what you can do with OpenStack is much more valuable than
reading someone’s opinion…
- James Slagle, Senior Software Engineer, Red Hat
In 20 years, OpenStack will be used to power every device, big or small,
from cell phones to microwave ovens.
- Tatiana Mazur, Horizon Dashboard contributor
It’s still fairly easy to contribute a commit as a newcomer.
- Ionut Artarisi, Senior Software Engineer, SUSE
