Why cloud computing needs open source
,----[ Quote ]
| Tech giants like Google and Amazon have laid out the formula to follow for
| open-source-driven cloud computing environments, according to experts from
| The 451 Group and Red Hat
|
| [...]
|
| For companies like Red Hat, ISVs have to more fully embrace moving apps that
| enterprises need to the public cloud, according to Red Hat CTO Brian Stevens.
| For the future, the company wants to see a higher degree of compatibility
| between external cloud providers, zero cost of entry and exit for users
| moving to cloud-based environments, better data mobility, the elimination of
| ISV licencing obstacles, and an overall reduction in complexity for
| on-premise cloud installations.

Will Google Chrome OS Bring Us the Mythical GDrive?
,----[ Quote ]
| Last week, Google announced some interface changes to their Google Docs
| service that are designed to make finding your files easier. The changes are
| relatively minor - the "shared with" list has gone away, there's a
| new "Sharing" menu, and you now have the ability to save your searches - but
| that hasn't stopped some bloggers from theorizing that the shiny new UI is
| bringing us one step closer to the often theorized, yet never
| realized, "Google Drive" service, aka "your hard drive in the cloud."

| leased servers. While cloud computing is the hot buzzword, Mullenweg said
| open source is the key to competing in the new digital economy.
