The Space Penguin Odyssey

We have missions. Missions make data.

“We manage data. We manage data, or people die.”

We have a history of partnerships.

NASA’s Future = More Partnerships “…a new plan that openly taps private sector creaLvity while making certain that the taxpaying public is involved in an unprecedented fashion.”

We have a history of innovaLon.

"In the Beginning, ARPA created the ARPANET. And the ARPANET was without form and void. And darkness was upon the deep. And the spirit of ARPA moved upon the face of the network and ARPA said, 'Let there be a protocol,' and there was a protocol. And ARPA saw that it was good. And ARPA said, 'Let there be more protocols,' and it was so. And ARPA saw that it was good. And ARPA said, 'Let there be more networks,' and it was so."

So, why Cloud?

We have a mandate.

The National Aeronautics and Space Act of 1958

SecLon 102 (d)(8) •  The most effecLve uLlizaLon of the scienLfic and engineering resources of the United States, with close cooperaLon among all interested agencies of the United States in order to avoid unnecessary duplica0on of effort, facili0es, and equipment;

We have problems.

“In fact, the Commiêe finds that no plan compaLble with the FY 2010 budget profile permits human exploraLon to conLnue in any meaningful way.”

NASA has at least 300 data centers. Probably more.

We have fearless leadership.

But why Open Source?

SecLon 102(a) •  The Congress hereby declares that it is the policy of the United States that acLviLes in space should be devoted to peaceful purposes for the beneﬁt of all mankind.

Standards we can believe in.

Why did Arpanet win? •  “The RFC tradiLon of pragmaLc, experience-‐ driven, aher-‐the-‐fact standards authorship accomplished by individuals or small working groups has important advantages over the more formal, commi^ee-‐driven process typical of ISO and naLonal standards bodies”
