[Haifux] [HAIFUX LECTURE] The Resource-as-a-Service (RaaS) Cloud -- Orna Agmon Ben-Yehuda

[Orna Agmon Ben-Yehuda]

Hi Steve,

There is no future talk planned, but the paper is available online, and is
quite readable. You might also read news items about the work, for example
in calcalist -
http://www.calcalist.co.il/internet/articles/0,7340,L-3573485,00.html
This is the first part - the motivation. The part about memcached is not
written (but the code is of course available, BSD license. All those are
linked from the talk's page: http://haifux.org/lectures/285/

We've got a talk about FOSS for production of goods coming up (this was its
tentative name), now it is differently titled. By Yael Vaya-Talmor, now
called "What more can industry learn from open source?"
