Good News For Open Source Grid
In a recent announcement, ActiveGrid has stated that it is moving its tooling over to the Eclipse open source environment and will join the Eclipse Foundation as well. In a nutshell this means that ActiveGrid is satisfied that Eclipse now supports all the right components of the LAMP stack and therfore the underpinnings of what ActiveGrid sees as it's sweet spot in the future of Grid and Web 2.0.
I've interviewed Peter Yared before and have great respect for his pragmatic and yes, I'll say it, application focused views on the metrics of success for Grid. I am also a believer that the LAMP stack will play a part in the success of Grid.
The ActiveGrid endorsement of Eclipse is a harbinger of good things to come in the Eclipse - Open Source Grid relationship.
