Q+A
( Why are you here? Do use use AWS? Are you looking at private cloud? Just want to be entertained? Let's go around.)
(And I have a lot of questions myself.)

Cloud computing has created the lowest ever valuefor MTBIAMSH in the history of computing.
That's why everyone is using it.

Open source has won
Linux is the dominant cloud operating system
Thus, cloud is where the opportunities are?

It is both intuitive and desirable to create an open cloud. We need an open cloud.
And remember: Everyone is looking for any way to compete with AWS.

Hello everybody out there using minix -
I’m doing a (free) operating system (just a hobby, won’t be big andprofessional like gnu) for 386(486) AT clones. This has been brewingsince april, and is starting to get ready. I’d like any feedback onthings people like/dislike in minix, as my OS resembles it somewhat(same physical layout of the file-system (due to practical reasons)among other things).
I’ve currently ported bash(1.08) and gcc(1.40), and things seem to work.This implies that I’ll get something practical within a few months, andI’d like to know what features most people would want. Any suggestionsare welcome, but I won’t promise I’ll implement them :-)

Hello everybody out there using AWS -
I’m doing a (free) cloud (just a hobby, won’t be big and professionallike AWS) for Linux. This has been brewing since april, and isstarting to get ready. I’d like any feedback on things peoplelike/dislike in AWS, as my cloud resembles it somewhat (same physicallayout of the API (due to practical reasons) among other things).
I’ve currently ported EC2 and S3, and things seem to work. Thisimplies that I’ll get something practical within a few months, and I’dlike to know what features most people would want. Any suggestions arewelcome, but I won’t promise I’ll implement them :-)
