The Open Cloud Workshop (formerly the Mass Open Cloud (MOC) Workshop) was held on March 2-3, 2020 at Boston University. 

This year, in response to recent exciting developments associated with the MOC, the OC Workshop convened the MOC community with key stakeholders of the Open Cloud Testbed (OCT), OpenStack Foundation Open Infra Labs (OIL) project, and New England Research Cloud (NERC).
Keynote speakers included
Chris Wright, Senior Vice President and Chief Technology Officer, Red Hat
Matthew Adiletta, Senior Fellow and the Director of the Systems Innovation Lab, Intel
Giovanni Pacifici, Vice President of Hybrid Cloud, IBM
In parallel threads, the meeting combined “Deep Dive” options allowing for focussed discussion on specific open-cloud related topics with micro-talks spotlighting relevant example applications or providing primers on key concepts.
Deep Dives included
The Open Cloud *FPGA* Testbed (led by Martin Herbordt, Boston University & Miriam Leeser, Northeastern University)
Open Data Hub Demo and discussion focussed on Research Computing Facilitators and Researchers – led by Sherard Griffin, Red Hat)
OpenStack on CloudLab Demo and Tutorial (led by David Irwin, UMass Amherst)
Hybrid Cloud Storage (led by Peter Desnoyers, Northeastern University.)
