Open Cloud Initiative

Bruce Perens, a computer programmer and advocate in the open source community, not only co-founded the Open Source Initiative (OSI) with Eric S. Raymond, but drafted the Open Source Definition (OSD) and published the first formal announcement and manifesto of open source. He agrees there is room for an entity that looks out for principles and will be helping out, at least in the formative stages.

Given the Open Cloud Initiative (OCI) is modeled on the Open Source Initiative (OSI) and Open Cloud Principles (OCP) loosely based on the Open Source Definition (OSD), whatever small or large contribution Bruce is able to make will be extremely useful and very much appreciated.

Thanks in advance Bruce, and welcome!
