OCP Engineering Summits

The Open Compute Project Foundation will host a series of engineering workshops each year to build on the community.  The goals of the engineering summits are:

  • Increased community participation and stickiness.
  • Increase the OCP technology portfolio; depth and breadth of specifications and charters.
  • Drive the product-ionization of OCP’s specifications.  A good example here is the Intel’s interconnect technology that enables Sipho.
  • Solidify specification versioning pipeline, release process, naming conventions.
  • Take into account/understand the suppliers needs and OCP partners needs; AMDs Roadrunner and the associated release and deployment is a good example here.
  • Implementation of OCP’s legal framework (CLA’s, OWFa’s).
  • Building out/addressing technologies for new sectors.

Open Compute Annual Summits

The Open Compute Project Foundation hosts annual summits, where the community meets and discusses the latest developments with OCP. Summits offer a chance to hear from speakers and panels, get the latest announcements, view demonstrations, visit booths, and network with others in the community.

We also welcome your participation, too. Here are a few ways you can participate:

  • If your company is interested in sponsoring an OCP Summit, please contact sponsor@opencompute.org. We’re happy to share upcoming opportunities.
  • Attend a summit! The next OCP Summit will be held in early 2014 in the SF Bay Area – check back for more details!
  • If you’re interested in leading a technical workshop or presenting at a future summit, please contact workshop@opencompute.org.
