summary
Project OS Climate lives in the Linux Foundation since Aug 2021 and ships a Data Commons platform that ingests public and proprietary sources via a Data Vault; community success comes from weekly contributor office hours, bi-monthly All Hands, and one-month targeted tasks to convert busy engineers. OpenStack reports 40 million cores in deployment and parity in contributions with Kubernetes; mature projects use Gerrit, tighten governance and onboarding docs, and push ops updates over Twitter when mailing lists miss them.
