Which is more important to the future of OpenStack: A vibrant community of users who collectively steer the project toward features and technologies that matter most to them? Or, is the future of OpenStack best served through a logical series of sound engineering decisions that steer the project toward an architecture that’s ready for a new world of scale-out apps?

In this debate, moderated by Stefano Mafulli, Scott Sanchez and Randy Bias will take point and counterpoint. We’ll discuss the hype growth of OpenStack and debate whether or not the technology has kept up. Participants will hear differing points of view on how projects like Neutron, Iconic, refstack and tripleO are or are not taking OpenStack in the right direction. We’ll look at who is putting OpenStack into production and examine what that means for the larger community.

The debate is designed to draw participants out of their default points of view and challenge them to consider alternatives. As OpenStack continues it rapid growth, a continual re-examination of our thinking is critical.
