This document discusses how OpenStack is developed through an active user model where users contribute to the project. It describes how software is becoming strategic for all companies and how the old consumption model of relying on another company's software is being replaced by an open design model where users actively contribute. The OpenStack project embraces this active user model by incorporating user surveys, operator summits, and keynotes from users into their development process. Having many active users contributing helps OpenStack produce one platform through an egalitarian process with elected leaders, frequent releases, automated testing, and by starting from working code.

Editor's Notes
- Costs dropped 100 fold in a decade, completely changing the economics of creating value through technology. Open Source & cloud are the two biggest factors driving that massive cost shift.

- It changes eveyr aspect of our economoy and how value is created When it comes to changing the way software is produced & consumed and vendor/customer relatiionshps (see next slide)
- The vendor has all the power in this relationship. Which might be OK for basic needs like hosting email or calendaring… but for a cloud platform to transform your company, this ain’t gonna cut it.
- This is how we see the universe in the OpenStack world. The lines are blurred and it’s very non linear. Users can be as involve din writing the platform they rely on as they want. And even without writing a line of code, they can have a strong voice in the roadmap. Since it’s open, they can also customize the software after the release to meet their needs.
- I’ve talked with many openstack users who put in their RFPs clear direction for openstack companies to deliver “pure openstack” and not add a lot of proprietary extensions. This is what active users are all about. The days of vendors being the gatekeepers to sacred knowledge of “how things work” are over.
- He’s informed vendors that he works with that any improvements they make on his behalf should be open source, shared back with the openstack community.
- Examples of user survey feedback that impacted the roadmap: -----?? And through their interactions with vendors in the ecosystem.
- While the idea of such powerful users may scare some of you who are used to the way things used to be in the IT vendor / customer relationship, we believe strongly that active users will make openstack the best platform for cloud computing for the next 10 years and beyond, and that ultimately that creates the most opportunity for everyone..
