This document introduces the Okinawa Open Laboratory (OOL) and its activities. It discusses OOL's motivation to promote open innovation through an open testbed. The testbed uses OpenStack and Software Defined Networking (SDN) technologies. It allows remote and on-demand access to bare metal servers and resources. OOL aims to connect open source development communities to the market through use cases, testing, and reference models. Future work areas include Network Functions Virtualization, white-box technologies, and expanding use cases.
