The jclouds ecosystem has been extremely busy the last 3 months.  We have a lot to talk about with our latest beta (<a href="http://code.google.com/p/jclouds/downloads/list">1.0-beta-5</a>) of jclouds.  Besides performance and bug fixes, there are a lot of new features.<br>
<ul><li><span style="font-weight: bold;">Clojure support</span>, compatible with 1.1 and 1.2 runtimes.<br></li><li><span style="font-weight: bold;">Refined ComputeService API</span>, including better errors, links between nodes and their images, and support for running scripts across your nodes.</li>
<li><span style="font-weight: bold;">Location compatibility across BlobStore and ComputeService</span>.  This allows you to designate and query geo-collocation of resources, which saves time and bandwidth.</li><li><span style="font-weight: bold;">More services</span> such as full support for GoGrid and experimental support for BlueLock vCloud.<br>
</li></ul>Coming next, we&#39;ll support portable volume management, across at least EBS and vCloud, and features <a href="http://code.google.com/p/jclouds/issues/list">you vote on</a>.<br><br>Please see our blog for a more <a href="http://anyweight.blogspot.com/2010/05/new-jclouds-hardens-cloud-provisioning.html">detailed review of beta-5</a><br>
