Now we’re fully staffed and wanted to share a brief recap of the team and our roles. We built a team to explicitly help execute on our mission to make Cloud Foundry the leading application platform for cloud computing worldwide and to realize our vision of a world of cloud computing that is:
- ubiquitous and flexible, supporting public, private, and hybrid deployment of applications.
- portable and interoperable, enabling users and developers to move their applications wherever they need to go.
- vibrant and growing, underlying a massive ecosystem of applications and developers based on an efficient marketplace.
