   I like how #Rabellino pronounces "ecosystem" as "echo-system". #Microsoft's "Open Source" is indeed purely an echo chamber IMO. !OSCON

     @fontana,did #Rabellino say "community" at all? I wasn't listening closely enough & wonder if I missed a turn in the !coffee drinking game

     #Rabellino rides a #Vespa -like motorcycle around #Microsoft. Is this a cliche out of an Eddie Izzard routine or something? #puzzled.

     #Rabellino says "#Microsoft is more Open than you think". Probably it's true, but being open is sadly compatible with anti-software-freedom

     #Rabellino is purposely confusing commercial & proprietary. Presumably part of #Microsoft's anti software freedom rhetoric. He knows better

     #Rabellino indicates #Microsoft prefers "#OpenCore" & "#OpenSurface" —b/c what we needed is *another* confusing term w/ "Open" in it. !OSCON

     I hope some people are playing buzzword bingo w/ #Rabellino's talk. He's now off on ☁ bullshit, #Microsoft -style. !OSCON

     #Rabellino' says "Openness does matter in ☁; but SLA is the main issue". He adds "no one should care what OS runs your ☁". !OSCON #Microsoft

     #Rabellino is talking re: PHP Cloud sniffers. It sounds like something a flying dog would do when you take it for a walk. !OSCON #Microsoft

     #Rabellino's final slide said "Let's work together" btw #Microsoft & #OpenSource. He forgot to mention "But !GPL projects need not apply".

     @bkuhn what's '☁'? Looks like a pile of dirt :)

     @smaffulli,indeed. ☁ is #unicode symbol for Cloud. It's fitting that it looks like a pile of shit in most fonts. Most Cloud computing is too

     @bkuhn @smaffulli: it surely looks like a mound of dung on my computer, perhaps for the reason you very cleverly suggest ;-)

     @jezra Wow - did not know about that section of Unicode. Must use the flexing bicep character somewhere before I die...

     @bkuhn if you have any feedback on this as a cloud glyph, I'd take it. #uni2601 !oflb http://ur1.ca/4t2l8
