Citrix supports open source to power its cloud and mobility solutions. As Platinum sponsor of the Apache CloudStack and a Gold Member of the Linux Foundation, Citrix sponsors numerous open source initiatives. Open@Citrix's primary projects are:

Apache CloudStack: an Infrastructure-as-a-Service cloud computing platform.

- Xen Project: the virtualization collaboration project with Google, Intel, Amazon and others hosted by the Linux Foundation.

At OSCON, you can learn more and find out how to contribute by visiting the Open@Citrix booth in the expo hall.
