Open source software is at the heart of our network transformation, and the OpenStack platform is one of the key open source tools we’re using to build this cloud-based network. At the OpenStack Summit in Austin next week, several of our key folks at AT&T who are managing our OpenStack initiative will explain what we’re doing and how we’re doing it.
Senior vice president of software development and engineering Sorabh Saxena will kick things off with a keynote address on Monday about the OpenStack-powered AT&T Integrated Cloud, and he’ll have a blog post here soon to further explain our overall vision. We also have many other experts speaking at the Summit, as well, and if you’re going to be at the show, you’re invited to come to any of our sessions and hear from some of the top experts in this growing field. You can check out our speaker schedule below. You might want to hear from us, and we definitely want to hear from you. The cloud developer community is critical to the future of the entire connectivity industry, and we look forward to seeing you at the show.
