Sriram (Cloud Don) Subramanian

there are factual errors in that artcile

Sriram (Cloud Don) Subramanian

1) It is incorrect to say that Red Hat OpenStack is community version (RDO is, but not RHOSP)

Sriram (Cloud Don) Subramanian

2) HP is a strong contributor to OpenStack code, in top 3 consistently

Sriram (Cloud Don) Subramanian

Sriram (Cloud Don) Subramanian

finally, there is a free, supported version. Not all is proprietary

Rajmohan Rajagopalan
