Security vendors (Trend Micro), academic researchers, postal police officers and representatives from IT and IT security associations discussed the topic in depth.
Grazie Roberto. Una bella relazione per chi come me avrebbe voluto esserci ma non ci è riuscito. Condivido quello che scrivi. Un saluto. Gs
Ciao Guido,
è stato interessante partecipare ed ascoltare i diversi punti di vista, sicurezza e privacy in testa vista l’estrazione dei relatori.
Nel dibattito finale ho accennato al fatto che il cloud a tendere probabilmente cambierà l’intera filiera, alienando o ridimensionando significativamente alcuni elementi della catena, ma ho notato ben poca preoccupazione tra gli operatori del settore.
Tu che ne pensi?
Ciao Roberto,
2 brief comments I would like to make:
Among the various efforts about open cloud, you may be interested to know about OW2 Open Source Cloudware Initiative (see http://ow2.org/view/Cloud/)
There is an interesting debate around Freedom vs. Openness of Cloud since a while now. A good example of the arguments to this debate are developped by Philippe Aigrain and you may found / discuss them on 2020 Floss Roadmap next edition
at http://www.2020flossroadmap.org/2010-version/
Grazie,
JPL.
Hi Jean-Pierre,
I do know about OW2 cloud efforts, and I’m open to cover them in the next future (once I reconnect with your CTO).
About the openness and freedom in cloud computing, Philippe’s article reports Moglen’s vision and opens to the architecture issue, guess we’ll add more and more information to his first draft in the upcoming weeks.
