The Open Cloud Initiative launches

[Posted July 26, 2011 by corbet]

The Open Cloud Initiative has announced its existence. "Its purpose is to provide a legal framework within which the greater cloud computing community of users and providers can reach consensus on a set of requirements for Open Cloud, as described in the Open Cloud Principles (OCP) document, and then apply those requirements to cloud computing products and services, again by way of community consensus." Comments are sought on the draft open cloud principles.

Does this initiative have the support of any large software company ? If not, I'm afraid it won't have a lot of impact.

The OCI sees lack of vendor influence as a feature, not a bug.
