In light of the rapidly increasing (and at times questionable) use of the term "Open Cloud" I hereby propose the following (draft) set of principles, inspired
GO FAIR initiative: Make your data & services FAIR
A bottom-up international approach for the practical implementation of the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) as part of a global Internet of FAIR Data & Services

Atmospheric Computing Research Proposal
Atmospheric computing research proposal exploring interconnected computing islands and cloud infrastructures enabled by open social protocols.
The next 10 years for cloud computing
The landscape of cloud computing is changing significantly as enterprises question the value of public cloud solutions. This shift marks a departure from previous years when the public cloud was widely regarded as the panacea for all technology and infrastructure needs. Companies are now reconsidering the efficacy, cost efficiency, and strategic alignment of public cloud computing in their IT frameworks. We’ve also been discussing this topic here in recent years.

Cloud Computing Services | Microsoft Azure
Invent with purpose, realize cost savings, and make your organization more efficient with Microsoft Azure’s open and flexible cloud computing platform.
Oxide Computer Company
The cloud you own. Hardware, with the software baked in, for running infrastructure at scale.

The Cloud Is a Prison. Can the Local-First Software Movement Set Us Free?
Tired of relying on Big Tech to enable collaboration, peer-to-peer enthusiasts are creating a new model that cuts out the middleman. (That’s you, Google.)

The future of Kubernetes and cloud infrastructure
New development approaches and open-source tools are set to address the complexity and scaling challenges of Kubernetes and evolve cloud infrastructure as we know it today.
Startup Program: Support for Growing Businesses
The OVHcloud US Startup Program offers startups and scaleups complimentary cloud credits and technical support to expedite their transition to a secure, reliable, and cost-effective cloud.
The Paradox of Open
Numerous organisations and initiatives have been launched with a belief in openness and free knowledge. Their proponents placed their bets on the combined power of networked information services and new governance models for the production and sharing of content and data. We – as members of this broad movement – were among those who believed it possible to leverage this combination of power and opportunity to build a more democratic society, unleashing the power of the internet to create universal access to knowledge and culture. For us, such openness meant not only freedom, but also presented a path to justice and equality.
Atmospheric Computing
Cloud computing has been extremely successful, but it lost the values that drove personal computing. We can solve this by evolving forward.

& you lose if you say the word "protocol", "decentralized", "repo", or "pds" to illustrate: the cloud is "the thing where i keep my photos when i drop my phone in a lake". if you even mention a "server" while explaining the cloud then you lost the thread

ok that seems good. next there needs to be a place that explains what Atmosphere is in less than two pagedowns
I've been thinking about the beauty of open data and how the AT Protocol and wider Atmosphere ecosystem has been recapturing that open data environment that once defined the web. It really does feel special. vale.rocks/posts/atproto-ethos #atproto #ATProtocol
