Add product logos and product images[edit]

Is it possible to get the logos on this page please for each distro? Eg Cloud Foundry, Pivotal Cloud Foundry, Bluemix etc. I can't upload images yet. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cloudfoundry (talk • contribs) 21:46, 26 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Merge[edit]

I disagree with the merge proposal, which is already a year old. I'm inclined to remove it. VMware does own Cloud Foundry, but it is a separate unit and will likely be on its' own, as well as being a different topic.

+1 - in fact VMware divested Cloud Foundry to Pivotal ^[1], and the project is more independent, this proposal is not relevant

Updates needed[edit]

(Disclaimer: I have a WP:COI so I am posting this on the Talk page rather than directly editing, so that someone else can independently verify the facts and edit appropriately)

Cloud Foundry is now sponsored by Pivotal, although it started at VMware.
It is no longer a hosted service offered by VMware at cloudfoundry.com. There is a Pivotal "hosted developer edition" at run.pivotal.io. There are others, run by other companies, too.
cloudfoundry.org no longer exists. The community site is cloudfoundry.com and the code is on Github.
the code is largely written in Ruby with some in Go. See https://www.ohloh.net/p/cloudfoundry for analysis
supported runtimes, frameworks and services are no longer listed accurately. CF now supports buildpacks like Heroku meaning "any" runtime can be supported - although Java/Spring, Ruby and node.js are built in.
links to references on docs.cloudfoundry.com all need updating.
external links need updating and might include www.thisweekincf.com as well
there is no discussion of architecture, what it is, how it works etc
there are no references to Cloud Foundry BOSH
There's no reason to link to OpenShift from "See Also" on this page as it is not the same thing. An alternative approach could be to add a list of competitors (which is where CF appears on the OpenShift page, with others).

This article takes no account of the involvement of IBM and other large organisations in the project

--Andypiperuk (talk) 10:03, 5 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I concur. Reading this article left me with the question that I went in with: "Sounds cool, but what does it do?" -- 141.76.180.79 (talk) 08:58, 7 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
