Liberty and Cloud Foundry - a union made in heaven

Recently I had a chance to visit Santa Clara and participate in the Cloud Foundry platform summit. http://www.platformcf.com/ One of the major announcements in the summit was the adoption of CF as IBMs open PaaS platform. We also introduced and open sourced the Liberty buildpack that allows cloud foundry developers to push their applications to WebSphere Application Server Liberty profile see http://blog.cloudfoundry.com/2013/09/09/ibm-websphere-liberty-buildpack-contributed-to-cloud-foundry/ The blog post does a very nice post of explaining why we chose cloud foundry and specifically why Liberty is such a good fit for deployment of apps in CF. It also provides guidance on future direction for evolution of the buildpack.

I have collected a bunch of links that explain the goings-on at the conference. So if you want to get caught up on what happened go to -
