Join OpenStack contributors, users, and backers to celebrate the second release of the fastest-growing open source cloud platform, code-named Bexar. There will be a community Meetup with speakers from 6:00 - 7:00 pm followed by an open bar from 7:00 - 9:00 pm.

At the Meetup, Jim Curry, VP of OpenStack for Rackspace, and Jonathan Bryce, chair of the OpenStack Project Oversight Committee, will kick things off with a quick progress report and overview of key features in the Bexar release, scheduled to be available February 3.
