I'm not an evangelist, but I am a member of the Cloud Foundry team, and responsible for partner development and ecosystem. I think you are creating a straw man question as the overwhelming majority of partners have open sourced most/all of

Don't be so sure this started as a PR pitch...Cade has been covering Cloud Foundry and Appfog since they adopted Cloud Foundry, see all of his articles about it over at the Register, example: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2011/09/13/appfog_

I think the point I'm really trying to make is that you can't just load a program into the cloud. The cloud is more like a software based mainframe if anything, but it requires a whole new set of architectures and a different way of thinkin

Its easier to trust someone with your data, if they have triple redundancy built into their architecture. S3 has that built in; a single MS SAN box does not. That's why its an important distinction. You trust people with the right, next gen

Cloud storage systems like S3 are often inferior in raw latency/response performance to a SAN which has VERY expensive adaptor silicon in it--but they are far superior on built in automatic, systematic, redundancy and global fail over and d

Let's not confuse science and NASA too much in the discussion here I'd say. Flying the existing shuttle back and forth to space for 3 decades is as much dog and pony as it is science. I'd like to agree with part of this article though. The

Godin wonder's why people pay for MBA's but he doesn't shrink from having his Stanford MBA on his resume. In a sea of ambition noise people use pedigree as a filter; perhaps having been chosen for this MBA alone will be the real resume and
