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.

Announcing DebGem (beta), the RubyGem-to-Apt conversion service
,----[ Quote ]
| Installing Ruby/Rails software on Debian and Ubuntu Linux distributions has
| been less than ideal until now. Ruby has a package manager called RubyGems,
| but Debian-based distributions have their own package manager, namely Apt,
| which manages the entire system and is preferred by most Debian users.
| RubyGems does not integrate well with Apt and cannot handle native Debian
| package dependencies. But on the other hand, Ruby software provided through
| the current Debian Apt repositories are not always up-to-date, e.g. the
| latest Rails version is often not available.

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.
