Re: OpenStack (and the 2013 Master the Mainframe Contest)
Phew, sorry, I missed that you were being sarcastic too. I really should have checked -- I remember thinking Wow, I didn't expect that from HIM! -- which should have been a clue!

Now that's a surprise considering they've just formed a multi-billion dollar competitor which is the biggest start-up in history.

You might want to leave Rackspace out of this list, since they and NASA are the two original creators of OpenStack.

I was being sarcastic Timothy! I thought that was obvious but in future I will remember to use a smiley or use sarcasm tags. I do know a thing or two about open source on z/OS.

Who on earth is going to risk their job using something like that? Linux is extremely highly successful open source software, and so is the Apache HTTP Server (which IBM offers in commercially supported form as the IBM HTTP Server for z/OS, as an example). Everybody who has WebSphere Application Server, including WebSphere Application Server for z/OS, also has IBM's commercially supported implementation of Jython (Python for Java) which is geared toward scripting administrative tasks (deployments, configurations, etc.) Which...sounds a lot like what OpenStack does. Lots of people risk their job(s) using something like that, every day, already, right now. What's the problem?
