I was on a panel last week talking about the role of infrastructure and “The Cloud” in online gaming (and I’m talking “fun” games, like Farmville, not online gambling).
One of the questions was “What do you think about cloud interoperability and standards?”.
To which I asked, “What do you mean?”

In my weekly reading of posts around this mighty collection of tubes, pipes and cans connected by shoestrings, the thing most call The Internets™, I came across “Why we moved away from “the cloud” to a “real” server” from the fellows at Boxed Ice.

Participate in a multi-tenant service
Have your own instantiations of this service
Install (and “buy”) the software to run on your own [...]
On Saturday and Sunday I’m going to be at the FSF Meeting in Cambridge MA where I’m going to talk about The Free and Open Cloud.
Of course I’m not talking about Free-as-in-Beer here, but instead software freedom, and how the cloud is a new battleground for Free and Open Source software — something that [...]
