GroundWork, Eucalyptus Team Up on Open Source Cloud Management
,----[ Quote ]
| Though both GroundWork and Eucalyptus have
| open source versions of their products and
| the pair are now soliciting users to
| participate in a beta program, the cloud
| monitoring solution itself is not entirely
| open source.

Olliance CEO Interview Series: Larry Augustin on the intersection of Open Source and Cloud
,----[ Quote ]
| Larry: I agree with that. I think of the
| Cloud as the platform now. I think of
| porting to Amazon, Rackspace or Windows
| Azure. I donât think of porting to Linux
| or porting to Microsoft Windows.
|
| I think of the Cloud service provider as
| the platform. And the OS, just like the
| database, is a piece of the stack. The app
| server is a piece of the stack. Those are
| all pieces of the stack. The importance of
| the OS is declining and the importance of
| the Cloud service is increasing. And that
| to me is independent of Open Source or
| proprietary.

Business of open source: my take on "open core"
,----[ Quote ]
| From a higher perspective, I believe that
| the whole IT market is moving toward
| service-based approaches â SaaS paved the
| way â because it aligns customer value with
| vendor revenue. That's why we â at Nuxeo â
| won't use the open core model even if it
| could increase short term revenue. We're
| here to stay and we believe that basing our
| revenue stream on the value we create for
| our customers is the best way to create
| sustainable growth.

Please, no more âOpen Source Companyâ
,----[ Quote ]
| In fact, open source is now so fundamental
| to the software industry that it is part of
| every software companyâs product and/or
| business strategy. The industry needs to
| start thinking of open source as being the
| software commons for the entire industry,
| not just one small group of companies.
| Therefore, it is my hope that in the next
| 12-18 month the term âopen source companyâ
| will quickly fade away.
