As the OCP Community continues to grow and expand the RCs are here to help groups of OCP adopters, innovators, thought leaders and users collaborate together in regional communities to help advocate, promote, translate, develop and drive change and innovation in, near, and around the data center its hardware, software, management and more.
 
The RCs will work with the main OCP projects but organize in local communities.  The RCs do not take the place of the top level projects and participation in these communities does not grant automatic OCP membership.  OCP Membership is administered through the OCP Foundation.  If you have any questions about becoming an OCP Member please see the link below or [mailto:amber@opencompute.org email] the OCP community manager, Amber Graner with any questions, comments or feedback.
