The Cloud Has No Boundaries, It's Elasticity That Makes It Cloud

,----[ Quote ]
| "It isn't the cloud if it has very firm 
| boundaries", says Marten Mickos, CEO of 
| Eucalyptus Systems. I had a chance to chat 
| with Marten and Dr. Rich Wolski, CTO and co-
| founder of Eucalyptus recently about their 
| vision of the future of cloud computing and 
| what role open source will play in it.

Stallman vs. Clouds

,----[ Quote ]
| Still, I think that RMS is onto something. The core promise of computing,
| even on a vast network that connects us all, is autonomy and independence.
| It's being free (as in freedom) to operate on your own, and to share what's
| meant to be shared in ways that nobody else can control, and to improve
| useful goods in ways that work for everybody. There are, in those core
| values, imperatives that seem at odds with the dependencies that "cloud
| computing" can sometimes involve.

Web 2.0 and open source: We've already won

,----[ Quote ]
| In both cases, these businesses are focused on fostering abundance and then
| the value they sell is providing order in the chaos, just as Google and Red
| Hat do, in their respective ways. In both cases, they're building their
| future with open source.
