Considering the evolving landscape of today’s IT solutions, he will illustrate the continuation of this open source software legacy and its impact on new and future usage and business models.
The Linux kernel is at the core of any Linux system; the performance and capabilities of the kernel will, in the end, place an upper bound on what the system as a whole can do. This talk will review recent events in the kernel development community, discuss the current state of the kernel and the challenges it faces, and look forward to how the kernel may address those challenges. Attendees of any technical ability should gain a better understanding of how the kernel got to its current state and what can be expected in the near future.
Eucalyptus Systems’ CEO Marten Mickos will talk about how open source cloud platforms are liberating application workloads to run across public, private, hybrid and ultimately mobile clouds.
OpenStack started off as one of the fastest growing Open Source projects around. While that's extremely exciting, it's also the type of growth that can derail projects if they aren't prepared for it. From day one, we had to set up for success and plan for problems before the arose. How we did it is interesting enough, but understanding why we made the choices we made will go a long way to understanding how to grow other projects through similar times.
