Opening Keynote at Cloud Expo
Once the news got out that it had welched on its 2005 patent pledge to the
open source community and had threatened TurboHercules (TH) with patent
infringement, IBM had to come up with some cover story or another to contain
the fallout. So it switched places with many of its observers and turned
conspiracy theorist, accusing Turbo Hercules of guilt by association.
Besides calling TurboHercules a couple of dirty names - a stock response to
any threats to its monopoly in order to scare away its rivals' customers...
And besides claiming that it didn't really flat out actually and in fact

claims," it said, "that TurboHercules had violated" that list of 173 patents
and patent applications we sent them under the assertion that "IBM believes
[this IP] will be infringed by an... (more)

Beth Noveck is deputy chief technology officer for open government and leads
President Obama’s Open Government Initiative. She is giving a talk at
Harvard. She begins by pointing to the citizenry’s lack of faith in
government. Without participation, citizens become increasingly alienated,
she says. For example: the rise of Tea Parties. A new study says that a civic
spirit reduces crime. Another article, in Social Science and Medicine,
correlates civic structures and health. She wants to create more
opportunities for citizens to engage and for government to engage in civic

Entrepreneurial opportunities abound as this classic disruptive technology begins to proliferate, so it is no surprise that SYS-CON's industry-leading International Cloud Expo is going from strength to strength. Call for Papers is now open! Reads: 15,404  By Ellen Rubin The talk at the Cloud Computing Expo this week in Santa Clara was all about enterprise cloud adoption. Is it real? Is it already happening? If so, who’s doing it, which applications are they running and which clouds are being tested? To a large extent, cloud computing is a victim of its own somewhat out-of-control hype cycle. Since so much has been written and discussed about the cloud in 2009, there is now a growing impatience for actual results. Reads: 10,327  By Bill Roth The most anticipated talk of the day yesterday, at the 4th International Cloud Expo, was by the deputy CIO of the CIA, Jill Singer. Her talk was entitled, "Enterprise Cloud Computing, the Infrastructure’s Final Revenge." She acknowledged the problem with defining Cloud Computing, and then went on to give her paragraph-length definition of “the cloud”. Her talk focused on the part of the Cloud behind the firewall. “Today’s CIO must increase the flexibility of the infrastructure,” said Singer.

Reads: 10,513  By John Savageau Having gone through a couple of decades worth of technology conferences, a familiar cycle occurs. For the first couple years, technology-related conferences are attended by engineers and operations people. Only after the technology has passed a couple of feasibility gates and begun to hit the business cycle do sales and marketing people take over. Cloud is now officially past the engineering phase, well into the sales phase – and the business community is scrambling to understand the implications of a virtualized world.
