Article needs revision when talking about Openstack

I think the information about the closure of the OpenStack Carnage - Nebula is inconsistent and the references (21, 22) are not correctly interpreted. The Openstack Foundation (www.openstack.org) is apparently in business, and is supported by big names in the technology world. I believe that this information should be reviewed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Silviobonilha (talk • contribs) 14:23, 16 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Edit request

It is requested that an edit be made to the semi-protected article at A. (edit · history · last · links · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".

The edit may be made by any autoconfirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{ESp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.

Hi, I work for Chris Kemp and therefore have a conflict of interest. Below are some suggestions for updates and improvements to the article. I look forward to working with you.

Intro:

Replace "~~information technology~~ executive" with "spacetech executive" in the first sentence, and add the following at the end of that sentence:

and the founder, chairman and CEO of Astra ^[1], a publicly-traded spacetech firm based in California.

Amend the second sentence to read:

His career included serving as the Chief Information Officer for the NASA Ames Research Center in Mountain View, California^[2] and as NASA's first chief technology officer (CTO) for IT^[3], as well as founding and leading several companies.

Revise the second paragraph as follows:

While at NASA, Kemp partnered with Google and Microsoft, helped create Google Moon and Mars^[4], worked with the White House to develop the cloud computing strategy for the United States Federal Government and co-founded OpenStack, one of the most active open-source software projects for cloud computing in the world^[5]^[6]. He was a founder of Nebula, a company which tried to commercialize the technology, from 2011 to 2015.^[7]

Early life:

Revise this section to read:

Kemp was born in Buffalo, New York in 1977. He held his first job at 15 years of age, working for Apple as a part of its Apple Dealer Network. Kemp studied Computer Engineering at the University of Alabama in Huntsville before leaving to found his first company, Netran^[8].

Thanks for your help, Lauren at L Strategies (talk) 17:41, 23 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Lauren at L Strategies: I've implemented almost all of what you requested. Thanks for providing sources for everything. The only changes I made: "space technology" is a more accessible term than "space tech". Kemp's career as described in teh article is substantially in information technology rather than space technology, so I've used that as his description but space technology is also mentioned in the first sentence. The source gives Kemp's alma mater as "University of Alabama, Huntsville" so I take University of Alabama in Huntsville to be a more relevant wiki-link than University of Alabama.

@MartinPoulter: Thanks so much for your help with this! I appreciate it. I have some additional suggestions for the article, and plan to post them here soon. Will ping you when they're up in case you have a chance to check them out as well. Thanks again, Lauren at L Strategies (talk) 12:28, 7 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
