An interesting talk on Linux/FOSS complacency and a future cloud monopoly
at https://fosdem.org/2019/schedule/event/cloud_is_another_sun/
Kyle Rankin also delivered the same talk at the recent 17th annual
Southern California Area Linux Exposition ('SCALE 17x'), in Pasadena,
California.
Rick;
on reflection, I wonder whether Kyle misses one of the strengths of the 
Linux/Foss,
developer community in an environment like the USA;
in that it  provides a disinterested software standards alternative,
to the proprietary lock-in, which seems an inevitable result of the 
dominant,
'small government minimal free-market regulation' ideology ?
