@troytoman said that the boards and community can help drive without someone telling everyone what to do

Tim Crawford

@stu That *may* be possible, but it is the harder path.

gr8 pt @tcrawford I give Rackspace the credit for not "bogarting" the position of leadership they didn't want to be perceived as land grabbing kudos to them for that

Brian Fanzo

Strong leadership or "Dictatorship" as said in the keynote is a hard sell with a group that believes in the power of a community and everyone having a voice.. Leadership can be strong without it being just one person right? @tcrawford @furrier

Troy said that the Technical Committee and BOD of Openstack went well last night - trust is there

-> Interesting discussion on "Trust" and difficulty in managing a community with this elephant in the room. What are everyone's agendas?

@stu just asked if @rackspace fumbled the ball with #openstacksummit leadership position.. hmm maybe

Tim Crawford

Rackspace got dinged by being "too close" to OpenStack. They pulled back, but maybe too far.

@tcrawford I think they pulled back yes and lost the leadership #opencloud

-> John, ask Troy when the financial markets will value $RAX 's #OpenStack activities. Seems like they don't get it.

Arguably, the ecosystem will make/ break the ability for a platform to succeed.

agree with you 200%

The key to ecosystem success comes down to relevance...over time.

Love to see focus on Trust... Key for #OpenSource success! https://www.crowdchat.net/0grr

Trust is the key to #opensource and increased transparency moves the ball down the field faster. Connected collaboration makes things efficient cc #socialmedia

@zhanghare says Contribution need cooperation from operators, users and developers, plus trust.#OpenStackSummit

Brian Fanzo

Agree 100%.. Its about collaboration across all levels & it starts at the top.. Leaders to Users to Developers!
