In July last year, Rackspace caused quite a splash in the cloud computing world when it decided to opensource the software behind its cloud storage and computing platforms to create Openstack, an Iaas-based cloud platform (more on that from the Scobleizer). Fast forward 9 months, and we are seeing over 60 companies worldwide (Dell, Cisco, Intel, NTT Data to name just a few) developing solutions based on Openstack. Tokyo-based Midokura is currently working to solve a hard problem that has barely been tackled before: flexibly virtualizing networks. Midokura’s key technology is called Midonet, a network virtualization platform that creates a control layer on top of the physical network. The company says it’s the only one to have “a true virtual network model” in a cloud stack. According to Midokura, Midonet can be deployed on top of any existing IP network.
Midokura has started accepting a limited number of people into the beta testing phase (for pilot projects, for example) for Midostack. Joget Workflow - Open Source Free Workflow Management System ...

I’ve just spent the weekend tweaking my workflow to deal with the over abundance of information that my job generates. To complete the picture, I started comparing all of my information managers – Yojimbo, Evernote, DevonThink Pro and even the good old OS X Finder. In working through that process, I discovered that in addition to Rob’s scripts I needed a few other things. One other thing I needed to adjust is that I get a lot of information via email. I’m still holding out for the super automated task manager.
