The Open Compute Project community is led by a group of dedicated volunteers who give freely of their time and expertise to further the mission of OCP - driving hyperscale innovation for all. A key part of furthering that mission is the work done by the volunteers in the OCP community.
These volunteers are the embodiment of the OCP mission. Every year, the OCP Foundation seeks to recognize those volunteers and community members who go above and beyond for their respective communities.

About the Open Compute Project Foundation
The Open Compute Project (OCP) is a collaborative Community of hyperscale data center operators, telecom, colocation providers and enterprise IT users, working with the product and solution vendor ecosystem to develop open innovations deployable from the cloud to the edge. The OCP Foundation is responsible for fostering and serving the OCP Community to meet the market and shape the future, taking hyperscale-led innovations to everyone. Meeting the market is accomplished through addressing challenging market obstacles with open specifications, designs and emerging market programs that showcase OCP-recognized IT equipment and data center facility best practices. Shaping the future includes investing in strategic initiatives and programs that prepare the IT ecosystem for major technology changes, such as AI & ML, optics, advanced cooling techniques, composable memory and silicon.
