A few months ago I announced a new Linux Foundation conference called CloudOpen built to spotlight and advance the conversation on the open projects, companies and technologies that make up cloud computing. I am pleased to announce the schedule today. In the process of recruiting speakers and sponsors, I spoke to dozens of amazing companies, both new and old, doing amazing things with the cloud. Two things became very clear to me: 1. We are in an inflection point in the industry much like where we were in 1999/2000 when the economics of the technology industry changed due to open source software. 2. Users need to be aware of this shift and fight for the freedom they gained via the open source software revolution, lest the advantages that came with it be lost.
