The Open Cloud Manifesto stresses the following:

--Cloud vendors should work together to define open solutions to address cloud challenges like security, integration and interoperability. --Cloud providers should not use their market position to create vendor lock-in. --Cloud vendors should embrace existing standards where they apply, and work together to create new standards where required. --Cloud community efforts should always be customer-driven. --Cloud standards groups need to stay coordinated to ensure there are not competing open standards in this emerging area.
