<blockquote>'We’ve experienced a revolution and know what can be achieved with openness and collaboration. The cloud can bring even more efficiency and innovation. This can be a virtuous circle for everyone - that addresses cost and lock-in but also ongoing technology innovation. To facilitate this cycle, we’ll need a vibrant open ecosystem to continue improving.
Let’s not forfeit 10 years of progress. Join us to keep the cloud open. You can find resources on our
Fight for an Open Cloud page, with new additions weekly as we prepare for CloudOpen, to tell the world -- and your vendors -- that you want the cloud to be open. Join us in San Diego where the conversation will continue. The schedule is announced today with leaders from many of the companies, projects and stacks that are leading the open cloud. I hope to see you there.'
