Why are blueprints needed
The OS wars are over, yet the battle for user freedom and privacy has shifted to the cloud, and nefarious actors continue to infringe on these inalienable rights. The outcome of the fight depends on the ability of the masses to easily host open source applications in their own cloud without needing a technical background.
Subutai was created to allow anyone with computer resources to share or rent them with others and securely host their cloud applications any way they like, but Subutai alone is not enough. Application blueprints that insulate users from technical details, and allow for one click application installation with zero maintenance overhead are needed.
Blueprint authors are open source warriors (Baatyr in Mongolian) in the battle for freedom, choice, and privacy in the cloud era. Subutai has provided its warriors with the most powerful weapon of all, a P2P Cloud Computing and Internet of Things Platform to deliver their applications to the masses.
The platform supports Open Source Projects to gain more users that would never have used their product, and that could make all the difference for them to prosper. It brings users closer to the communities that provide FOSS products. See the Open Source Contribution Program for more details on how Subutai provides direct resource assistance to Open Source Projects. Besides spreading a lot of “good will” and helping Open Source, blueprint authors in turn get Subutai™ GoodWill when they host their blueprints on the Subutai Bazaar.
