Sun hardens OpenSolaris for EC2
,----[ Quote ]
| In recent weeks, the OpenSolaris project has rolled out AMIs for Ruby on
| Rails 2 for application development, WordPress 2.7 for Web content
| management, and MediaWiki 1.14 for wikis. In April, Sun put a 64-bit version
| of OpenSolaris 2008.11 out for EC2, and it seems likely that a 64-bit version
| of the more recent 2009.06 release is due any day now. The most recent
| addition to the AMI jukebox for OpenSolaris running on Amazon's EC2 is an
| OpenESB v3 stack, all licensed under Sun's Common Development and
| Distribution License (CDDL).

Fog computing is for those who are able to use FOSS and put it on their own

Mullenweg: Open Source Trumps The Cloud
,----[ Quote ]
| Using cloud storage from Amazon has helped Automattic scale its fast-growing
| Wordpress.com blog hosting service. But Wordpress founding developer Matt
| Mullenweg said he’d much prefer to run an optimized open source solution on
| leased servers. While cloud computing is the hot buzzword, Mullenweg said
| open source is the key to competing in the new digital economy.

Will Google Wave revolutionise free software collaboration?
,----[ Quote ]
| If you haven’t heard yet, Google have released a developer preview of their
| new social networking and collaboration tool - Wave. What impact might this
| have on free software users and developers?
|
| Wave is what Google call a “a new tool for communication and collaboration on
| the web”. Think of it as a cross between e-mail, social networking, IM, IRC
| and Twitter. It not only gives (or to be fair will give) ways to communicate
| but gives instant feedback to other participants. Using the basis of a wave
| as a conversation, it allows others in your conversation to see what you are
| writing in real-time, as you write it. No more having to wait while your IM
| buddy finishes her message. Wave also allows — in the same tool — bulletin
| board-style messaging for participants to follow when they log back in. It
| has nice features which permit you to respond to different parts of a message
| in-line and in-context. New participants can be brought in at any time and
| not only get the full history of the “wave” but can “playback” the wave as it
| happened, seeing who wrote what when and in chronological order.
