Our cloud philosophy
• My work is possible because of open standards at all levels of the stack.
• Customers for software I write are coworkers, developers and users on the internet.
• We adopt technology that lets us work whether or not the internet or any particular government does.
Three things I learned about emerging
economy use of cloud technology
Do not assume basic infrastructure will be available.
The good books are hard to buy.
Solutions need to fit the local resource availability over the long run.
