August 29 – 31, 2012 · Sheraton San Diego · San Diego, CA
In 2012, The Linux Foundation will introduce a new annual technical conference, CloudOpen, designed to provide a collaboration and education space to advance the open cloud. CloudOpen is a conference celebrating and exploring the open source projects, technologies and companies who make up the cloud. It’s built on a belief that open works: for users, for industry and for technology. CloudOpen brings together the open source projects, products and companies that are driving the cloud and big data ecosystems today, along with best practices from the world of traditional open source. This conference is about the future of computing and how users should ensure that their cloud solutions — technologies, data, and APIs — are truly open.
Who Should Attend:
The inquirer is reporting that Ubuntu 11.10 will be the first to support both x86 and ARM architectures. The distribution will also have the Linux 3.0 kernel and the desktop edition will ship with Gnome 3.
GeekWire reports an interesting development between Microsoft and SuSE.
Microsoft today announced an agreement with its successor, Attachmate’s SUSE unit, to extend by four years the technology collaboration agreement and controversial patent protection deal that the companies announced nearly five years ago.
Linux users should be very happy with agreement because litigation costs should be reduced.
TechSource provides a quick overview of three Linux distributions embracing the cloud.
Joli OS
Jolicloud sports an interface that is both simple and very easy on the eyes. Shortcuts to popular web services appear as icons on top of a desktop background. More applications can be added by clicking on the ‘plus’ sign on the top left.
Peppermint OS
It is a cloud-centric operating system meant for netbooks, mobile devices and older PCs.
Google Chrome OS
Google’s master plan is to combine all these services into a cloud-based operating system and sell it to users. This master plan is called Google Chrome OS and the notebooks running it are called Chromebooks.
Have you tried any of these distributions? Joli and Peppermint excite me the most.
Baby Tux says "Hi"
Tux Reports began as a means for my daughters and I to share our enjoyment of Linux. Once they became teenagers, they abandoned Linux. Once they became college students, they returned.
The Tux Reports Network was an extension of our sharing our enjoyment of different technology topics, later expanding into politics, movies, music groups, and fan sites for books and entertainers. The sites have been scattered for years – opening and closing based on their interests.
I started bringing all of these sites together. The technology sites are being linked to Technology Questions so that the user base is common, and the activity stream of the network is seen all in one place.
At the network’s height, we would have 25,000 daily visitors on the network scattered over 100 sites. Who knew baby tux could be so popular?
By bringing all of the sites together, we can provide our visitors with greater variety – and share our enjoyment.
