Red Hat goes for OpenStack's community jugular

[ Thanks to Amy Bennett for this link. ]

Red Hat has chosen to announce its new cloud management software Aeolus with a fresh spin of being more community-oriented than Aeolus' competitor, OpenStack.

I find that kind of funny because in the olden days, Red Hat was often accused of the same thing: not being a community player compared to distributions like SUSE Linux, Debian GNU/Linux, and Mandrake. Yet, here we are in 2010, with Red Hat pitching a cloud offering to counter OpenStack's by asserting the Aeolus development process is more open and participatory.
