Open Stack

Hi everyone,

I’ve been peripherally engaged with Kata since the launch, mostly in helping out at community events. With Anne’s departure, this particular part of the Kata community fits in fairly well with my own experiences at the OpenStack Foundation. One of my first tasks here was to launch and administer a trademark and interoperability program for the OpenStack Project. It’s been fantastic watching the Kata community grow, and I’m excited to engage the OCI and advocate for Kata.

Thanks,

Chris Hoge
OpenStack Foundation
