URL = http://www.opencloudconsortium.org/index.html

Description

1. supports the development of standards for cloud computing and frameworks for interoperating between clouds; 2. supports the development of benchmarks for cloud computing; 3. supports open source software for cloud computing; 4. manages a testbed for cloud computing called the Open Cloud Testbed; 5. sponsors workshops and other events related to cloud computing.

Examples

Here's some of the Open Cloud Computing Software it lists:

1. Hadoop, http://hadoop.apache.org/core: Hadoop is the most wide deployed open source software for cloud computing. Hadoop is deployed on all the nodes of the Open Cloud Testbed.
2. Thrift, http://incubator.apache.org/thrift/ : Thrift is a software framework for scalable cross-language services development. It integrates a software stack with a code generation engine to build services that work efficiently between C++, Java, Python, PHP, and Ruby. Thrift was developed at Facebook. Thrift is expected to be available shortly on the Open Cloud Testbed and will used to interoperate different cloud middleware and to simplify the development and deployment of cloud applications.
