Here is the video on Youtube with Mark Zuckerberg and Tim O’Reilly.
The talk starts out with the first summit in Palo Alto. Frank and I were chatting and we laughed about how Mark pointed out the challenge to host the first event.
The web traffic so far is only 329. I am interested in how many others watch this video. It is nice to see a Founder care about the environment and data centers.
I am off to the fifth Open Compute Summit.
OCP Summit V
Wednesday, January 08, 2014 · Posted by at 12:00 PM
We are pleased to announce the dates for the next Open Compute Project Summit on Tuesday, January 28 and Wednesday, January 29, 2014 at the newly expanded San Jose Convention Center in San Jose, CA.
At the last summit, attendees came from the technology sector in addition to finance, government, and consulting. These attendees represented executive-level roles of vice president or higher as well as IT directors and managers.
The Open Compute Project Foundation would like to thank these sponsors for making this event possible!
Venue
San Jose Convention Center - 150 West San Carlos Street, San Jose, CA 95113
The growth of Open Compute I think has surprised most every one, going from space on Page Mill Road in their office building to venues in NYC, Rack Space in San Antonio, Santa Clara Convention Center and now San Jose Convention center.
Don’t know what my rate of blogging will be. There are plenty of media folks that will be there to cover the event. I’ll probably focus on networking and catching up with old friends, then blog later.
Many data centers have a hack or two or more.
In modern computing terminology, a kludge (or often a "hack") is a solution to a problem, doing a task, or fixing a system that is inefficient, inelegant, or even unfathomable, but which nevertheless (more or less) works. To kludge around something is to avoid a bug or some difficult condition by building a kludge, perhaps relying on properties of the bug itself to assure proper operation. It is somewhat similar in spirit to aworkaround, only without the grace. A kludge is often used to change the behavior of a system after it is finished, without having to make fundamental changes. Sometimes the kludge is introduced in order to keep backwards compatibility, but often it is simply introduced because the kludge is an easier alternative. That something was often originally a crock, which is why it must now be hacked to make it work. Note that a hack might be a kludge, but that 'hack' could be, at least in computing, ironic praise, for a quick fix solution to a frustrating problem.[10]
The folks at Open Compute have figured out that Hacks are the reality of data center operations and sharing your hacks help them get better.
Here is the invite to the event on Jan 28-29, 2014.

It can be hard to figure out what the impact is to Open Compute and its Summits. The fifth summit is coming up on Jan 28-29, and I have gone to all of them.
People will many time ask is Open Compute worth it? Who is using it?
I don’t have a clear answer. One way I’ve used to judge the worth is what vendors are sponsor the event. Here is the current list.
For the data center crowd note that Emerson, IO, Rosedin Electric and Schneider
