How did you get involved with OpenDaylight?
I got involved with OpenDaylight when ConteXtream decided to base its next generation SDN on open standards and open source emerging in the field. We at ConteXtream believe that an open source and open standards approach to SDN and NFV is the way to achieve a scalable and programmable infrastructure that operators are looking for. This will ensure standardization through a common infrastructure that everyone will use. The advantage of OpenDaylight as an open source project is that everyone can join and help develop the controller. There is no doubt that it will become the best SDN controller in the market. We joined the OpenDaylight project to help create the foundation for our second generation carrier-SDN solution.
