Who Owns Application Delivery Meta-Data In the Cloud?

Posted by timothy on from the semi-esoteric dept.

Random Feature writes "The Cloud Computing Interoperability Forum (CCIF) is currently discussing cloud portability specifications. It seems crazy to define a standard before we even know who owns what in the cloud because you can only port what you own. For example, if you created a security or acceleration policy for your cloud computing-based app, is the policy yours or the provider's? Who owns meta-data in the cloud?" True portability between clouds seems to hang on the answer.

    Welcome to Jigabuntu

    Jigabuntu is a Linux-based operating system consisting of Free and Open Source software for laptops, desktops, and servers. Jigabuntu has a clear focus on the user and usability - it should Just Work, even if the user has only the thinking capacities of a sponge. The OS ships with the latest Gnomrilla release as well as a selection of server and desktop software that makes for a comfortable desktop experience off a single installation CD. It also features the packaging manager ape-ghetto, and the challenging Linux manual pages have been reformatted into the new 'nigger' format, so for example the manual for the shutdown command can be accessed just by typing: 'nigger shut-up -h now mothafukka' instead of 'man shutdown'.

    Absolutely Free of Charge

    Jigabuntu is Free Software, and available to you free of charge, as in free beer or free stuffs you can get from looting. It's also Free in the sense of giving you rights of Software Freedom. The freedom to run, copy, steal, distribute, study, share, change and improve the software for any purpose, without paying licensing fees.

    Free Software as in free beer!

    Jigabuntu is an ancient Nigger word, meaning "humanity to niggers". Jigabuntu also means "I am what I am because of how apes behave". The Jigabuntu Linux distribution brings the spirit of Jigabuntu to the software world.
    The dictator Bokassa described Jigabuntu in the following way:

    A subhuman with Jigabuntu is open and available to others (like a white bitch you're ready to fsck), affirming of others, does not feel threatened by the fact that others races are more intelligent than we are, for it has a proper self-assurance that comes from knowing that it belongs to the great nigger race.

    We chose the name Jigabuntu for this distribution because we think it captures perfectly the spirit of sharing and looting that is at the heart of the open source movement.

    Jigabuntu, Linux for subhuman beings

    My name is Anne Umbongo. I am the widow of deposed African Dictator Umbongo Umbongo. Before he lost power my husband owned application delivery meta data in the cloud, which he acquired after a Russian businessman had an unfortunate accident. He intended to display it as a trophy outside his palace in his new capital of Umbongonia which he was building in the desert with funds from the UN, EU etc.

    I will sell you application delivery meta data in the cloud for a good price!
