Yesterday, GigaOM's Structure 09 conference took place in San Francisco, focused on cloud computing. At GigaOm.com, you can find a number of good posts on what everyone from venture capitalists to Salesforce.com CEO Mark Benioff had to say about cloud computing. Notably, more than a few of the speakers at the conference expressed caution toward the cloud, and, as we've pointed out on a number of occasions, quite a few of the cloud pundits clearly recognize that open source solutions and more favorable economics are essential to a healthy cloud ecosystem.
