Individual Member Profile

For over three years we are using the OpenStack cloud solution in our cloud computing infrastructure. Currently, we develop software solutions over our OpenStack cloud which are supporting European research projects. Also we are very active with the OpenStack community here in Greece through the Athens OpenStack user meetup group. Therefore we are willing to strengthen our bonds with the OpenStack community by becoming members of its foundation. It is very important for us to become an official member considering that we are one of the largest academic institutions in Greece and we are involved in various research projects. As a result, we are confident that we can further contribute to the development of OpenStack in Greece.
