"The OpenInfra community is truly global, with a membership representing over 187 countries, and yet each region has slightly different priorities and challenges," said Thierry Carrez, general manager of the OpenInfra Foundation. "We want to make sure that those regional concerns are heard, reflected in our strategies, and elevated through our communications and events. So one of our initiatives for 2024 was to transition from a global event strategy to a regional one. We couldn't be more delighted with how the OpenInfra community has responded. Our organizational and individual members are stepping up in force to host, sponsor, organize and attend these events, offering more opportunities for our members to collaborate at the regional level."
