== What is the Open Compute Project? ==

The Open Compute Project is a rapidly growing community of engineers around the world whose mission is to design and enable the delivery of the most efficient server, storage and data center hardware designs available for scalable computing. Currently there are eleven Project Groups that individuals and organizations can get involved with and participate in.

= Participate =

If you are interested in working with the Open Compute Project, we are glad to welcome you to our community. There are several ways to get involved with OCP.  We encourage everyone to take a look at the [[http://www.opencompute.org/ OCP website]] and to sign up for our [https://ocp-all.groups.io/g/main mailing lists] to participate in the project meetings.
