Partners

We are keeping the project small and close during the early phases to make sure that we lay down a really strong foundation before trying to broaden the effort.

As the project gets toward a Beta and 1.0 level we will significantly broaden opportunities for participation. If you are interested in becoming a partner and want to be part of our Beta activity, please contact us.

Advisory Board

As CloudSocial moves from a nascent exploratory activity to real production, we will be creating an advisory board to help in the rollout, marketing, positioning, technical approach and sustainiability of the CloudSocial activity and organization.

We see CloudSocial as ultimately "community property" - it is architecturally designed to be part of the "commons" - to be used by and shared by all. We expect that the Advisory Board will help us understand the myriad of complex social and technical issues necessary to achieve that lofty goal.
