In april VMWare released an open source Platform as a Service (PaaS) called Cloud Foundry. It is multi-language/frameworks, multi-service, and multi-clouds (private, public, hybrid). When I saw it launch I recognized the open source platform that could become the de facto standard for Cloud platforms, public and private, the same way TCP/IP standardized how machines communicate. My favorite industry analyst, James Governor, understood right away what Cloud Foundry means for the industry. [...]

I obviously desperately wanted to flag the idea so it made it bold. ;-) and the levitation gag just came to me as i watched the Open Virtualisation Alliance News come streaming in, just as I was writing up the post.

Open Source 2.0 on the other hand uses forks as the metric of traction.” — brilliant!

“seems everyone finally ganged up on vmware just to see it levitate and fly over their heads” — funny and brilliant!!

Entire post is very powerful.
