I read from David Lutterkort blog that Deltacloud Core goes to the Incubator.

Deltacloud it’s an abstraction layer that provides an uniform API to deal with different cloud providers, supporting EC2, GoGrind, OpenNebula, RackSpace, RimuHosting, etc; and obviously RHEV-M, because Deltacloud was initiated by Red Hat as open source project.

According to Lutterkort, a lot of people liked the idea of a OSS cloud API, but they weren’t happy with it being a Red Hat project. To fix that, Deltacloud it’s now an ASF Incubator project, and in the future most likely will become a full Apache Software Foundation project.

With all the recent open core debate, it’s very interesting this move from Red Hat: you don’t like us to have control over a 100% open source project, so we’re donating it to ASF. Brilliant.
