Editing OCP Regional Community: Europe

==Description==

Welcome to the Wiki page of the OCP European workstream group. The monthly OCP EU project calls should help focusing on European market demands, since the current OCP approach is well approved in the hyperscale data centre market and mainly in the US.

The dedicated OCP EU workstream calls for Europe will support OCP adaptation of regular data centres and help ordinary clients to shift to OCP data centre gear.

Therefore, the EU OCP calls with the focus on the European data centre market, should cover the following:
* What components of OCP gear are available in Europe?
* Who can provide support in Europe?
* Where can deployed OCP gear be shown to customers?
* Include brief introduction meetings to OCP work streams like cooling environments, data center facilities and others and their European participants.
* Evaluate obstacles for the European market on adopting OCP gear.

During the OCP EU workstream calls the group is jointly exploring challenges & opportunities and also suggesting solutions which will allow an easier deployment of open source technologies in Europe.

Furthermore, the overall aim of the monthly European OCP project calls is to increase the know-how about OCP in Europe and to help the European market to make use of OCP gear within its data centre sites.

This OCP European project calls are open to the public and we welcome all those who would like to be involved.
