Ubuntu Makes Cloud Strategy a Big Joke
,----[ Quote ]
| Overall, thanks to the recession, the contrast between Ubuntu and Apple
| couldn't be starker. For Linux, the future looks peachy. For Apple, it's
| beginning to go pear shaped. If you'll pardon the pun.

Karmic Koalas Love Eucalyptus
,----[ Quote ]
| Our first steps in Karmic Koala will be at the infrastructure layer. We're
| adopting the emerging standard of Amazon EC2 and providing our users with
| AMI's and tools to run on Amazon EC2. We're also providing users with an open
| source means of implementing their own in-house EC2-like cloud (Eucalyptus).
| This is not the end but the beginning of a journey, and we will be looking to
| build ecosystems at all the layers of the computing stack based upon
| portability and choice.

SFLC tech director wants to liberate the cloud
,----[ Quote ]
| Free Software Foundation founder Richard Stallman made headlines last year
| when he argued that cloud computing is "worse than stupidity" and called for
| users to abandon popular Web applications such as Facebook and GMail. We
| disagreed with Stallman and pointed out that cloud computing is here to stay
| and that numerous emerging community-driven initiatives have the potential to
| bring the values of software freedom to the cloud.
|
| This issue was the primary topic of a presentation made by Software Freedom
| Law Center (SFLC) technical director and community liaison Bradley Kuhn at
| the Southern California Linux Expo (SCALE). Kuhn has worked closely with
| Stallman over the years and previously served as the executive director of
| the Free Software Foundation before participating in the founding of the
| SFLC. He is best known for his role in authoring GNU's Affero General Public
| License (AGPL).
