The OpenStack community is in the process of establishing an OpenStack Legal Working Group to provide a forum to discuss and provide guidance on a number of legal issues that relate to OpenStack, including, the licensing model, the contributor agreement and contribution process, the trademark policy and guidelines and the governance model. In this session, we will provide some history and background about the OpenStack project, identify and discuss some of the current legal topics related to OpenStack and discuss the framework for the OpenStack Legal Working Group. Attendees will have an opportunity to meet the open source legal professionals from other OpenStack community members and participate in helping to guide the strategic and tactical direction of the new OpenStack Legal Working Group.
