Nimans head officeATC hand forced over Rocom, chief claims
Outgoing Alex Tupman claims conflict with resale division was not a factor in distributor divestment

Outgoing AT Communications (ATC) chief executive Alex Tupman has claimed the sale of Rocom was a "shame" and was fuelled by pressure from the City to reduce debt.
Rival telecoms distributor Nimans bought Rocom for £12.45m last week, ending months of speculation. Tupman claimed the process had taken several months longer than he would have liked.
He also indicated there had been no real conflict between running a distribution business alongside ATC's resale arm. He added that ATC's efforts to evolve the distributor away from being a "box shifter" had been successful. "Rocom was cash-draining because it grew so quickly – it was a chicken and egg situation," he said. "Selling it was a great shame, driven by demand from the City."

Open Cloud Manifesto Leaked

Posted: 27 Mar 2009 05:59 PM PDT

Cloud Computing ?A secret document called the “Open Cloud Manifesto” has been leaked onto the Internet as of recently. The net community at-large had become aware of this document when someone (or some group) asked some people at Microsoft to sign it. Microsoft wasn’t very happy about this since they are trying to lauch their newly released (closed source) cloud service called Azure.

A lot of questions are still surrounding this document and the events that took place with Microsoft. Who wrote the Manifesto? Who asked Microsoft to sign it? What are the exact terms in the Manifesto to which Microsoft is objecting? And who (if anyone) would be bound to the terms of the Manifesto?

Partial answers can be found with a fellow by the name of Reuven Cohen who has stepped forward in a Google Group post with a bit more information. Reuven is quoted saying;

Over the last few weeks I have been working closely with several of the
largest technology companies and organizations helping to co-author the Open
Cloud Manifesto. Our goal is to draft a document that clearly states we
(including dozens of supporting companies) believe that like the Internet,
the cloud itself should be open.

One thing we do know for sure is that the Open Cloud Manifesto is still in its infantsy and has a ways until it would be considered complete. If you find this subject interesting or you think you have valuable input on the subject you’re encouraged to join the Open Cloud Google Group.
