We have many skilled software engineers and developers around the world working on our software products and providing world-class support to our customers. In addition to these excellent engineering resources, we have other team members who are deeply involved in the open source world like Alan Clark in our CTO office. He\u2019s somewhat of a legend within the open source community \u2013 he\u2019s the chairman of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.openstack.org\/foundation\/\">OpenStack Foundation<\/a>, the chairman of the <a href=\"https:\/\/openhpc.community\/\">OpenHPC Foundation<\/a> and is also on the board of directors of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linuxfoundation.org\/\">Linux Foundation<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Our very own Kent Wimmer spent some time with him recently in our Provo office, chatting to him about all things open source and OpenStack.
