What is ‘Open Cloud’?

April 14, 2010 in Syndicated

I’ve read a bit of angst about cloud lock-in, a lot of weed pulling in the form of interoperability standards for the cloud, and a manifesto or two about ‘Open Cloud’. And in between, I’ve seen lots of interesting new tools for cloud computing, and lots of narratives about how the tools, combined with the formalization of use cases, pave the way for open clouds.

But what, exactly, does “Open Cloud” mean? And what role does open source play? Jim Zemlin, Executive Director of the Linux Foundation, likes to say that open source and the cloud go together like peanut butter and chocolate. But does open source necessarily mean open cloud, and vice-versa?

Schneier Makes Uncorroborated Claims About Google Hack

January 25, 2010 in Syndicated

Bruce Schneier has built a successful career as a computer security guru – one who gets it right most of the time and has a wonderful ability to translate security concerns to the layman. But sometimes an author’s great reputation makes him less likely to criticize his own work, and the editorial staff of whatever media organization he happens to be writing for, in this case CNN, lazy.

So when Bruce Schneier asserts that Chinese hackers exploited a government-mandated backdoor to abscond with information on human rights activists, you kind of take it for granted that there is, in fact, a back door that they exploited. Except when there’s not. Or there might be, but Schneier unfortunately offers few facts and cites no sources, and I haven’t found any other report to corroborate his assertion.

So VMware bought Zimbra: now what?

January 18, 2010 in Syndicated

Many of you no doubt already know about VMware’s snagging of Zimbra away from the clutches of Yahoo! If I’m a Zimbra employee or executive, I might be breathing a sigh or relief, or I might be disappointed. But one thing’s for sure – I’m definitely wondering what’s next. Stand back, for I, John Mark Walker, have dared to gaze in the crystal ball. Zowie!

The one great unknown has to do with developer communities and the open source projects that VMware currently stewards. How will VMware build an open source ecosystem and create a community environment necessary for future success?
