SACRAMENTO This summer's 80-day exhibit of state government gridlock has made California a national example of poor governance. Now an influential band of reformers is seizing the opportunity to push forward with the most sweeping budget reforms in decades.
The reformers includes a good-government group backed by some of the state's largest philanthropic foundations, a Bay Area business umbrella organization, and lawmakers who say they're tired of spending so much time battling over the budget. Their ideas range from adopting a system to scrutinize the effectiveness of government programs, rather than providing annual funding boosts with no questions asked, to scrapping California's requirement for passing the budget by a two-thirds vote, which gives minority Republicans tremendous leverage over negotiations.
For state residents, these ideas promise a more stable funding future for schools, highways and health programs without the annual will-they-or-won't-they-raise-taxes dance.

Literally an operating system for the virtual datacenter, VDC OS is an umbrella concept to build services and APIs that make it easier to provision and allocate resources for apps in an abstract way. Under the system, McAllister writes, apps are reduced to 'application workloads' tailored through vApp, a tool that will allow developers to 'encapsulate the entire app infrastructure in a single bundle servers and all.' The concept could help solve the current bugbear of programming, parallel processing, McAllister concludes, assuming VMware succeeds.'
