images

2. The latest from the Linux Foundation
Linux Foundation executive director Jim Zemlin
said 64 million lines of code have been added
to projects hosted by his organization since
they became collaborative projects. New
initiatives include Kinetic Open Storage and the
IO Visor Project.

3. IBM makes mainframe news
Angel Diaz, vice president of Cloud Technology
and Architecture at IBM, took the stage to
announce LinuxOne Systems, IBM’s new Linux
mainframes which only run the open source
OS, as well as the formation of an Open
Mainframe Project under the auspices of the
Linux Foundation.

4. Intel intros the ‘open’ data centre
Mauri Whalen of Intel’s keynote focused on
how the chipmaker’s technology would power
a more “open” data centre. Intel also discussed
how it is collaborating with CoreOS to produce
an application container runtime that supports
hardware enhanced virtualization.

5. The case for NTP
Addressing some of the big concerns that have
emerged in open source since the discovery of
HeartBleed last year, Sam Ramji, CEO of the
Cloud Foundry Foundation, discussed the
ongoing importance of the network time
protocol (NTP).

6. Drive (innovation), she said
Robin Chase, co-founder of Zipcar, suggested
open source should not only be a way to
improve efficiency in IT operations but spur
collaboration to solve critical problems,
including climate change.

7. The details about Docker
Senior vice-president of engineering at Docker,
Marianna Tessel, demoed Docker Content
Trust, a configurable feature in the recent
Docker 1.8 release which can limit malicious
code injection, among other benefits.

8. They could hardly contain themselves
With containers becoming a hot topic, not only
in open source but elsewhere, it was inevitable
that Docker, Red Hat and others would be
brought together for a panel discussion about
it.

9. Steve Wyatt, who leads emerging technologies
at Red Hat, discussed Kubernetes, a relatively
new Apache Licensed project originating from
Google that provides a framework for building
clustered applications that run in Docker
containers.
