I'm excited to announce that I have taken a position at IBM. I will be + working closely with Jesse Proudman and Angel Diaz to deliver excellence + and innovation to IBM Cloud.

+ +

When I joined HP, it was with the intent to be involved in making sure that HP + invested its resources in OpenStack to good effect. Over the last 3.5 years + I'm proud of both what I've been able to accomplish and where + HP is with respect to OpenStack. In this, I believe my time at HP has been well + spent for me, for HP and for the OpenStack Community.

+ +

Recently, we were all sad when Joe Gordon left OpenStack. He left because he + had gotten in to OpenStack in the first place to take on Amazon in the Public + Cloud space, and was frustrated that most of the work was in service of + private cloud.

+ +

I agree with Joe. I believe that it is important for the industry that there + is at least one Open alternative to Amazon. I believe that in times such as + these it is essential to continue to be bold and swing for the stars. I do + not concede that Amazon has won the cloud. I do not believe that Amazon's story + is the story we need.

+ +

I believe that there is a Public Cloud story that can not only compete with + Amazon, but significantly exceed them ... and I intend to dive full steam into + proving it.

+ +

IBM agrees.

+

IBM is ready.

+

IBM wants me to be a part of shaping what comes next.

+ +

From the bottom of my heart I want to thank HP. Both I and OpenStack have grown + immeasurably during my time and together we've done some great things. I will + continue to wish HP all of the success and I look forward to continued + collaboration across OpenStack.

+ +

I'm excited about what tomorrow brings for me at IBM, and I can't wait to get + started.
