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.

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.

Fabric-Based Computing Enables Optimized Hyperscale Data Centers

Today’s modular x86 servers are compute-centric, designed as a least common denominator to support a wide range of IT workloads. Those generic, virtualized IT workloads have much different resource optimization requirements than hyperscale and cloud applications. They have resulted in a “one size fits all” enterprise IT architecture that is not optimized for a specific set of IT workloads, and especially not emerging hyperscale workloads, such as web applications, big data, and object storage. In this report, you will learn how shifting the focus from traditional compute-centric IT architectures to an innovative disaggregated fabric-based architecture can optimize and scale your data center.

Red Hat White Paper: Using an Open Source Framework to Catch the Bad Guy

Built-in forensics, incident response, and security with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6

Every security policy provides guidance and requirements for ensuring adequate protection of information and data, as well as high-level technical and administrative security requirements for a system in a given environment. Traditionally, providing security for a system focuses on the confidentiality of the information on it. However, protecting the data integrity and system and data availability is just as important. For example, when processing United States intelligence information, there are three attributes that require protection: confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
