Some homework

Summary: The latest venture from OpenLogic, a firm managed by a former Microsoft guy who sells proprietary services (and FUD) around FOSS

This news article about OpenLogic is based on this press release that describes proprietary solutions to an open problem. Quoting the press release: "A flexible and open PaaS cloud solution, CloudSwing offers complete customizability, enabling application developers to quickly deploy and operate cloud platform stacks using any open source or proprietary components on the cloud of their choice. "

CloudSwing is not Free software. It's Fog Computing on AWS or Rackspace. We are increasingly seeing this attempt to push Free software into Fog Computing -- a trend that backers of the so-called 'think tank' would like to make a norm. ⬆
