[Live-demo] recognizing software foundations and associations

[Angelos Tzotsos]

I like the idea to include the various cloud processing technologies 
somehow.
Just remember that we used to list projects in our documents that were 
Windows-only and were not included in the disk.
We could do something similar (perhaps with a link and access 
credentials to an online demo).

Thoughts?
