What will be the cloud equivalent of the Linux distro?
,----[ Quote ]
| In 1993, you had to have a high degree of skill (and patience) to take
| advantage of the emerging Linux platform, because for the most part, you had
| to build it yourself. You had to download source code, compile it, install
| it, and make it all work together before you could really do much with it. It
| wasn’t until the Linux distributions came along and did that work for you
| that Linux, and open source along with it, was made accessible to the masses
| and began to fundamentally change the computing industry—and yes, the world.

Open-Source Cloud Tools Project Spawns Cloud Foundry
,----[ Quote ]
| The Cloud Tools project, hosted on Google Code, is a prime example of the
| emerging trend of open-source application developers targeting the cloud and
| looking at services such as Amazon Web Services solutions and Google App
| Engine to host their applications. Cloud Tools is a set of tools for
| deploying, managing and testing Java Enterprise Edition applications on
| Amazon.com's Amazon Elastic Computing Cloud. And now the Cloud Tools
| project's founder has launched a commercial service based on Cloud Tools
| known as Cloud Foundry.

Open Cloud Conundrum, Open Cloud Consortium
,----[ Quote ]
| One of the hot areas in 2008 was cloud computing, and 2009 looks likely to be
| a year that is equally occupied with the subject. But cloud computing
| represents something of a conundrum for the open source world.
|
| Much of it is built using free software infrastructure - naturally enough,
| since it scales well both in terms of performance and cost. But it's not
| clear from a legal viewpoint whether providing cloud computing services
| constitutes distributing software in the sense of traditional free software
| licences like the GNU GPL.

Consortium tackles cloud computing standards
,----[ Quote ]
| That’s one of the questions being examined by the Open Cloud Consortium
| (OCC), a newly formed group of universities that is both trying to improve
| the performance of storage and computing clouds spread across geographically
| disparate data centers and promote open frameworks that will let clouds
| operated by different entities work seamlessly together.
