Tristan Goode, CEO of Aptira and OpenStack Board Director, discusses the global impact of OpenStack. He notes the large surge in code contribution from outside the US and that most use cases now occur outside the US. OpenStack allows innovative solutions to be built anywhere in the world without proprietary constraints. Business examples of global OpenStack users include Sina.com, Mercardo Libre, Korea Telecom, and Aptira. OpenStack is having a significant global impact that is only accelerating.
