Later, the founding team built Nimbula, kind of DC/OS of the time. https://www.theregister.co.uk/2010/06/25/nimbula_cloud_os/ https://www.theregister.co.uk/2010/06/25/nimbula_cloud_os/ Also see: http://www.adccpt.com/#/challenges http://www.adccpt.com/#/challenges

        > The source is dead. I thought wikipedia would be better about that You could have fixed it instead of writing such comment. Wikipedia is nothing without the thousands of volunteers writing (and fixing!) content on it.
