Today I’m launching the OSS4CLOUD blog / knowledge base / news aggregator dedicated to Open Source Cloud software.
Technical details
OSS4CLOUD is hosted on a IaaS provider (GANDI VPS), and uses an open source blog engine (WordPress).
120 persons have registered to participate, I had to close registration.
More information (in French) here.
