Hokkaido University Builds Academic Cloud with CloudStack
So I found an interesting PDF about Hokkaido University Building Academic Cloud with CloudStack, you can purchase the PDF for only $3,500.. I honestly hope it's a price mistake, but for now as I see it - the price stands @ $3,500

Yeah and I just found out that this is a different division of IDC that we
can't get to through Citrix. :-(

That was my next thought, I but I decided not to voice it,
I'm quite certain they deliver the paper overnight from japan via private jet and it the used gold ink with diamond engravings.

Makes you wonder whether we're in the right part of the business... ;-)

I had no idea IDC was charging this much.
Only 9 pages long, with a price tag of $389 per page.

You're right on the customer part. I'll ask our marketing team if they
might reach out for a freebie.

Is Citrix an IDC customer? They might be able to let people see the
paper. I've also had success requesting these things as a journalist -
it *might* be possible to contact the analyst(s) and simply say "we're a
FOSS project with no budget for such things, but we would be happy to
help cooperate when you need to write something like this. May we see
what you said about us?"
As long as you don't go publishing/spreading it around, they're often
pretty cool about it.

It's an IDC report, so the price is about right for their normal
analysis papers.
Here's the IDC site to buy from:
http://www.idc.com/getdoc.jsp?containerId=JP1677109U
It was published back in the summer of 2012.

Yes.. I responded to one, the book was based of ACS Incubator version, so all links are broken.
They need to make a revision 2.0 with latest changes I guess.

Guess that's one way to make out as a reference customer :)
On a different topic - the CS book is getting some rough reviews (the
recommendation on Amazon's page..)

Do we have anyone in the JCSEG that might have contacts in the Hokkaido
University that could talk to them about providing us a use case on this
document?
