Open Source Meets Cloud Computing
,----[ Quote ]
| Yet, the open source software stack, with the
| Linux OS as its foundation, is proving to be
| a popular way of creating cloud environments,
| and a growing number of open source projects
| and tools are intended for that purpose.
| Eucalyptus, which turns server clusters into
| compute clouds, is one example. Others
| include the Nimbus toolkit, Deltacloud API
| and portal, and Simple Cloud API.

| project and support MOICT initiatives to

Should the White House Contribute to the Open Source Community?
,----[ Quote ]
| While this measure may not be an immediate
| cost-saver (5 different companies are
| involved in re-building and maintaining the
| White House web site), long-term costs
| should fall as government agencies are able
| to borrow from the greater Drupal community
| while incrementally improving on the
| websites code. But the question remains,
| will the Obama White House share some of the
| contributions itâs making to open source?
