thx for the reply ;)

and your "bahasa" posting also in my twit and in this mailing list

yes,

after researching cloudfoundry for years, i tought chris richardson
mentioned it far before acquired by Spring, and far before spring become
part of vmware.

and far before openstack ;).. CMIIW i tought in 2007.

and start that, and try to promote openstack (with become chapter for
indonesia)

the work more exciting..

and esp after my friend show stackato, and post appfog plus piston in this
mailinglist


my research getting deep, and find the fork become interesting but bad.. :)
because to many option,

my background mostly from Java world, we know a lot of Java API in the
world, and we make standard like JAX-RS, JPA, JavaEE, JavaSE

i try to map this experience with what people do in Cloud, esp in both
world OpenStack and CloudFoundry , which i interest both.

openstack is clear :)..

but cloudfoundry esp the fork, make me need more feedback from both world,
openstack and cloudfoundry.

i love to bring the cloudfoundry brand to the market, and make new people
like me, have a strict clear direction, and i feel CF like new JavaEE for
Cloud but no JCP (the standard body in Java)

NB: I also discuss with VMware Country Manager about this Andreas Kagawa, a
long discussion happen from last Country Manager of Indonesia.
