How about something like "The Java multi-cloud library"? Does "cloud interfaces" sound a little too abstract to others, too? We see a lot of developers asking about cloud APIs or cloud providers, but I don't hear the term "cloud interfaces" much. If we do want to stick to that theme, how about "portable" rather than "simplified"? I think that's a more important goal that we can help our users achieve. Hmmmm… “Simplified Cloud Interfaces” is closest to the original. “Multi-Cloud Toolkit” certainly describes what it is (it’s more than just a library so I prefer toolkit). It’s very pragmatic and gets the point across quickly. “Portable Cloud Interfaces” doesn’t quite sound right. “Portable Cloud Applications” focuses on our users’ goals. I confess I’m divided on this. The pragmatic and straight-forward “Multi-Cloud Toolkit” vs “Portable Cloud Applications” and its focus on users but is a bit more nebulous as “Portable” is going to mean different things to different people. Apache jclouds® is an open source library that helps you get started in the cloud and utilizes your development skills on the JVM "get started in the cloud" sounds too much like a tutorial or similar to me? What particularly is it about jclouds that we feel would make it a good "getting started" library? How about something like: "Apache jclouds® is an open source multi-cloud library for the JVM (or "for Java") that allows you to create applications that are portable across cloud providers and APIs while giving you full control to access the native APIs where needed. I like where you’re going with this. And there’s still a lot I like about the original. I think we can simplify it a bit too. How about, Apache jclouds® is an open source multi-cloud toolkit for the Java platform. jclouds gives you the freedom to create applications that are portable across clouds while giving you full control to use cloud-specific features. --- Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub: https://github.com/jclouds/jclouds-site/pull/58#issuecomment-36046120
