Catch the Collaboration Summit from the Comfort of Home
Next week's Collaboration Summit, put on by the Linux Foundation, will gather together "the brightest minds in Linux" to mull over all the great problems that plague our beloved operating system. If you can't make it to San Francisco to collaborate in person, fear not, the Summit will come to you.
The fourth-annual Collaboration Summit will convene on Wednesday, with the usual variety of sessions and speakers, covering topics from cloud computing to mobile Linux to legal issues and more. In an effort to extend the Summit's reach, the Linux Foundation will be beta-testing a new live video streaming service — all of Wednesday's sessions will be made available, beginning at 9:00AM and ending at 5:30PM (Pacific).
What can at-home viewers expect to see? Among the scheduled sessions are:
- Foundation Executive Director Jim Zemlin's State of the Linux Union address.
- The Linux Kernel: What's Next, with panelists James Bottomley, Jon Corbet, Christoph Hellwig, Greg Kroah-Hartman, and Andrew Morton.
- Josh Berkus' How to Prevent Community: Making Sure Your Pond Stays Small.
- Does Open Source Mean Open Cloud?, with panelists David Lutterkort, Sam Ramji, Mark Shuttleworth, Doug Tidwell, and John Mark Walker (moderator).
- IMB Vice President and Foundation Board member Dr. Daniel Frye's 10+ Years of Linux at IBM.
The winners of the Foundation's second-annual We're Linux video contest are due to be announced on the fourteenth as well, though it is not immediately clear whether that will take place during the streamed portion of the day's events.
The streams will be available for free, though they do require registration, which in turn requires a (free) Linux Foundation account. Sadly, those wishing to attend the event in-person — which, like many of the Foundation's events, is by invitation only — are too late, as registration has now closed.
Additional information about the Collaboration Summit, and the Linux Foundation, is available from the Foundation's events site.

Realizing the promise of Apache® Hadoop® requires the effective deployment of compute, memory, storage and networking to achieve optimal results. With its flexibility and multitude of options, it is easy to over or under provision the server infrastructure, resulting in poor performance and high TCO. Join us for an in depth, technical discussion with industry experts from leading Hadoop and server companies who will provide insights into the key considerations for designing and deploying an optimal Hadoop cluster.

If you already use virtualized infrastructure, you are well on your way to leveraging the power of the cloud. Virtualization offers the promise of limitless resources, but how do you manage that scalability when your DevOps team doesn’t scale? In today’s hypercompetitive markets, fast results can make a difference between leading the pack vs. obsolescence. Organizations need more benefits from cloud computing than just raw resources. They need agility, flexibility, convenience, ROI, and control.
Stackato private Platform-as-a-Service technology from ActiveState extends your private cloud infrastructure by creating a private PaaS to provide on-demand availability, flexibility, control, and ultimately, faster time-to-market for your enterprise.

How to Build an Optimal Hadoop Cluster to Store and Maintain Unlimited Amounts of Data Using Microservers
Realizing the promise of Apache® Hadoop® requires the effective deployment of compute, memory, storage and networking to achieve optimal results. With its flexibility and multitude of options, it is easy to over or under provision the server infrastructure, resulting in poor performance and high TCO. Join us for an in depth, technical discussion with industry experts from leading Hadoop and server companies who will provide insights into the key considerations for designing and deploying an optimal Hadoop cluster.
Some of key questions to be discussed are:
- What is the “typical” Hadoop cluster and what should be installed on the different machine types?
- Why should you consider the typical workload patterns when making your hardware decisions?
- Are all microservers created equal for Hadoop deployments?
- How do I plan for expansion if I require more compute, memory, storage or networking?

Hello, could I find the video
Hello, could I find the video of this Collaboration Summit somewhere on internet or was it only streaming ?
About EFFING time!!!!
I can not believe that the cream of the cream of tech havent been able to get their shit together before this.
Musicians and stoners have been doing live video feeds from events for quite some time and I remember a music festival in Belgium (Esperanzah) and one in Barcelona (radiochango.com) doing live audio Freecasts from their events about 6 years ago and they were running ALL Linux (I think it was in collaborati0n with Tryphon).
Dont get me wrong, Im a thrilled to death and I think this will be a benefit for devs that cant go but what took so long?
Its too bad this lineup is nowhere as good as the one they had in NZ a few weeks ago (Glyn Moody was excellent and the Tridgell one was phenomenal when it appeared online afterwards). Id rather watch the grass grow than hear Zemlin hear himself talk.
Lets face it, some of the most boring, self serving, softball questioning interviews are from the Foundation. Im not expecting anything more than generic stuff from this conf.
But if this leads to more Linux/FLOSS conferences doing this, then its a great step.
