I just wanted to share with everyone the great work (I hope) we're doing with Cloud::Infrastructure, and to announce here the change of name that occurred last week (from Annelidous)!   Anyone looking to help can email eric at grokthis dot net, or join #cloud::infrastructure on irc.freenode.org.

Annelidous becomes Cloud::Infrastructure

The cloud client library and server framework has a new name!

PHILADELPHIA-August 4, 2009-The Annelidous project is now known as Cloud::Infrastructure. This change has been made to increase the visibility of the project which aims to provide a standard client library for cloud computing infrastructure for Perl applications, and to provide a framework for the creation of unique infrastructure services. Additionally, Cloud::Infrastructure is now represented at a new web address: www.cloud-framework.org.

The new name was approved by CPAN on Saturday, August 1st. CPAN provides a repository of Perl modules and maintains a list of approved namespaces. Annelidous has already, unofficially, entered CPAN. As the renaming process is completed in August, it will be officially uploaded into CPAN under the new name.

Use cases for Cloud::Infrastructure include the development of end-user or web applications build directly against infrastructure services through a standard client library, the creation of unique infrastructure services, to layer billing, accounting, and localized AAA features onto other cloud infrastructure platforms.
