| Enterprise Cloud that is being certified to 
| run on Dellâs PowerEdge C systems as part 
| of our cloud ISV program.

Eucalyptus Partner Day: Can VARs and Open-Source Cloud Connect?

,----[ Quote ]
| Back in March 2010, Marten Mickos, best
| known as the man who built MySQL into an
| estimated $100 million enterprise, made
| headlines when he stepped in at Eucalyptus
| in the role of CEO. But even before that, a
| partnership with Canonical to provide the
| platform at the heart of the Ubuntu
| Enterprise Cloud beginning with 2009âs
| Ubuntu Server Edition 9.10 garnered
| Eucalyptus a lot of notice.

Marten Mickos says open source doesn't have to be fully open

,----[ Quote ]
| The term "open core" essentially means that
| the heart of a software project is built on,
| and remains, open source but added features
| may not be (particularly a commercial
| version intended for enterprise use).VC-
| funded software startups love this model.

Open Source vs Proprietary Code: seeking a balanced standard

,----[ Quote ]
| This proprietary to open source to public
| domain source code release Standard will
| bring to an end the present conflict between
| proprietary and open code development
| models.  Some companies and individuals will
| choose to develop their software as open
| source, to take advantage of the extra and
| free resources that the open source
| developing model provides, while others will
| prefer to develop it as proprietary code, to
| gain a competitive advantage once it is
| release. One way or another, within a set
| number of years the code will become public
| domain, free for all to use, share and
| modify.

,----[ Quote ]
| The most popular Private Cloud implementation

| Ubuntu Server by Canonical that promotes Ubuntu
| and other OSS.
