Open-sourcers promise cloud elephant won't trample your code
,----[ Quote ]
| Avro is expressive. It's small. And it's
| fast. Under Avro, schema is stored with
| data but is also factored out of instances.
| Arbitrary code types can be read and
| written without generating and loading the
| code.
|
| Furthermore, Avro includes a file format,
| textural encoding for data that handles
| versioning. An Avro RPC framework,
| meanwhile, is being build that'll talk to
| native languages, so these languages no
| longer need to converse with Hadoop through
| Java.

Open Source Meets the Cloud
,----[ Quote ]
| The most popular Private Cloud implementation
| comes from Eucalyptus Systems. This was started
| as a research project by the Computer Science
| Department at the University of California,
| Santa Barbara before it was distributed through
| Ubuntu Server by Canonical that promotes Ubuntu
| and other OSS.

The people's cloud
,----[ Quote ]
| John Suffolk's (the Cabinet Office CIO) generously replied to my questions
| posed in last week's blog. G-Cloud is 'go' and it will be a Private Cloud,
| based on Open Standards and will use a mix of proprietary and (free?) open
| source software. All I reckon is left it to see whether it's stitched
| together by Microsoft's technology or Red Hat's.
|
| [...]
|
| Our great Free, Open Source guru Richard Stallman dislikes the Cloud concept.
| He sees it as a way to hand over your freedom to proprietarists and to get
| locked into someone else's computing paradigm. Many including this author
| agree with him. Below though is a manifesto for a 'good' cloud that would
| benefit the businesses and citizens of the UK without loss of rights and
| freedoms.
