Julia started her career in technology close just over twenty years ago. It has surely not been an average career, but a career where she has continually learned and evolved to fulfill the need. In a sense, it all started with Linux and answering some questions about installing Linux. This started a journey into computer networking and eventually shifted to a systems engineering focus with a stop-over in data center operations.

The DevOps movement lead her more into software development and the operationalization of software due to the need to automate large scale systems deployments. This required bringing an operational perspective while bridging to the requirements, and often required digging deep into the underlying code to solve the problem of the day.

In a sense, Julia found a home in OpenStack in 2014 and the Ironic project in 2015 because of the many years she spent working with physical hardware in data centers. 

Julia presently work for Red Hat as a Senior Principal Software Engineer, where her upstream focus has been Ironic for the past few years, and her downstream focus has been on helping lead adoption and use of Ironic. 

I'm currently leading the European Cloud initiative Sovereign  Cloud Stack (SCS) as CTO - we have been able to get a grant from the German government to fund the coordination and some of the development work for this project. It's hosted by the Open Source Business Alliance (OSBA), a non-profit that represents the open source industry in Germany. The OSBA has joined the Open Infra Foundation as Associate  Member. SCS is closely linked to the European initiative Gaia-X. 

The idea behind SCS is to network the various Infra DevOps teams in  the industry that build Open Source cloud and container stacks for their  internal consumption or as public clouds. This avoids duplication of work and the slight incompatibility that all of these efforts would  have if not interlinked closely. SCS clouds are very compatible and can  be easily federated. The SCS reference implementation combines well-established OSS projects such as OpenStack and Kubernetes as well as operational tooling. SCS also puts a lot of focus on operational tooling  and processes, as high quality day 2 operations remains a challenge for  many operator.

Dec 2018 - Dec 2019, I was responsible for the Cloud and Storage  Departments in SUSE R&D. SUSE was a strong long-time supporter and  platinum member of the OIF, also hosting the HP Helion team after the  M&A transaction. Before SUSE, I was leading the architecture, community and consulting teams in Deutsche Telekom's Open Telekom Cloud Team. DT has been a vocal supporter of OpenStack since I joined in early 2012. 

I have personally supported the InterOp Workig Group. I was serving  in the board of the OIF in 2018 as Gold member director for DT and in  2020 --  2022 as individual director.

Before joining DT end of 2011 I was a long-time contributor to the  Linux kernel, which also gave me the privilege of building up and  leading SUSE Labs and work with a number of great engineers in- and  outside my company, contributing to the success of the Open Source technology.

I am Kai and am the CSO/Co-founder from 99CLOUD. I had been devoting myself for OpenStack for more than 10 years from 2012.  99CLOUD is one of the top code committer orgnization in OIF foundation.  We believe with Open Infra tech, we can some how change the world and help client better in their IT and bussiness transformation. I have been in the OIF board for three years. I am also in EdgeGallery (a MEC opensource project) as a baord member. Prior to 99CLOUD, I worked for Intel from 2006~2012 as a SW engineer and Accenture 2012~2014 as Cloud Manager.  

Over the past 10 years, I’m happy to have watched the hosting industry transform and be part of the transformation process as it evolved from traditional physical hardware to cloud-native infrastructure, powered by OpenStack.  Since the creation of VEXXHOST, I have had the chance to work with different sorts of customers, ranging from growing small businesses to helping architect solutions for large Fortune 500 companies, based on OpenStack.  I've helped integrate other open infrastructure projects into our commercial offering.

By fostering OpenStack at it’s early days in 2011, it has helped improve the project and our service as a whole. I’ve been a contributor to the project since and I have contributed code to almost every release of OpenStack since then.  I've also served as PTL for Puppet OpenStack, continue to serve as a PTL for OpenStack-Ansible and serve on the technical commitee, chairing tthe commitee for a term.

Rico Lin, Individual Board of Director for OpenInfra Foundation, ex-Heat PTL, OpenStack Cloud Engineer at Vexxhost.

Experienced in OpenStack development (infra and app), Cloud architect, Container(docker and k8s), community(contribute and event host), and customer tech consults and supports. Goals in OpenStack: * Improve experiences of Open Source cloud with/on top of OpenStack(by improving infra and user experiences).* Blending OpenStack with other cloud solutions to make it become one indispensable layer.* Leverage the community differences across global (Include let Asia community get more actively join to others).

I started my careen in 1997 at IBM Germany, when I came across a new open-source operating system called Linux which drew a lot of my attention and continued to do so until present time. Over the time the scope grew larger, and I followed the open-source path to the cloud world and got part of the OpenStack (back then) and now OpenInfra family. 

Since 2012 I'm with T-Systems in different leadership roles and in 2014 we started a project to launch a public cloud for T-Systems/ Deutsche Telekom. This was the start of Open Telekom Cloud (OTC)! 

As the infrastructure lead and chief engineer, I am responsible for everything between the upper edge of double floor in the data center and the upper edge of the operating system. Open Telekom Cloud is by now one of the largest OpenStack-based clouds in Europe, providing full GDPR-compliance and the full stack of IaaS, PaaS and SaaS offerings.

Apart from doing all that computer stuff, I am married, have a son, and enjoy a lot doing some cooking & baking, spending time with my family and travelling throughout the world.
