OpenStack has lots of contributors and is supported by lots of large IT vendors. It is trying to beat AWS and VMware. It is developing its own set of APIs.

The other open source private cloud platforms have their own strengths. Eucalyptus is the only one with AWS compatibility. You can move workloads back and forth. You can use the same scripting. You can use the same tools. For instance, ChaosMonkey that Netflix developed for their internal use on AWS runs on Eucalyptus as well.
