Open Source and Standards Team: How Red Hat Measures Open Source Success

February 6, 2018

Red Hat is a testament to the success of open source, but it still benefited from some organization and goal-setting in its community efforts.

“The Open Source and Standards office, or what some would refer to as an open source program office, was established six years ago to create a consistent way to support communities which Red Hat is actively participating. We created a centralized organization of expertise and resource to support our goals by flanking the considerable upstream engineering efforts ,” explained Deborah Bryant, senior director, Open Source and Standards, in the office of the CTO at Red Hat.

Platform providers lack adequate support resources for developers, according to an Accenture report.

Only 23% of developers strongly agree that adequate support is readily available from their platform provider.— Accenture, 2018
Amazon Web Services (AWS) was named the most developer-friendly platform. — Accenture, 2018

Developers must rely on their platform provider as a base for their work, but most lack adequate support resources for them, according to a new report from Accenture.

The report surveyed more than 750 US-based developers to determine what they look for in a platform provider—particularly key given the critical role developers play in a platform’s adoption and ultimate success, Accenture noted.

Crossing a New Milestone in NFV: Open Source Verification of Commercial Products

February 6, 2018

As we kick off 2018, the OPNFV Compliance & Certification committee—the members driven body within OPNFV that defines recommendations to the Board for policies and oversight for compliance and certification—is pleased to announce the launch of the OPNFV Verified Program (OVP). The program is designed to simplify adoption of NFV in commercial products by establishing an industry threshold based on OPNFV releases. The fact we are using an open source platform as referent to measure compliance of commercial products—not necessarily based on its source code—is a new and innovative step for the industry.

The OPNFV Verified Program facilitates both vendor self-testing and third-party lab testing using the Dovetail test suite.

Best Linux Distros for Gaming in 2018

February 6, 2018

Gaming in Linux has evolved a lot in the past few years. Now, you have dozens of distros pre-optimized for gaming and gamers. We tested all of them and hand-picked the best. There are a few other articles and lists of this type out there, but they don’t really go into detail and they are pretty outdated. This is an up-to-date list with any info you’d need.

Before we start listing out the best distros, you’d still need to choose one of them. Here are a few guidelines you can use to help you choose the right one for you:

Any Linux distro can be used for gaming. You can install Linux games on any distro or you can use tools like PlayOnLinux, Wine, Steam and a bunch of other emulators. At the end of the day, it all boils down to which one you personally prefer. Try them out. Use a live CD (flash drive) image and test it out without even installing it. Watch some videos, check some screenshots, read some reviews…
The main feature that matters when choosing a distro for gaming is support for drivers. Most distros support the latest (and even oldest) hardware out of the box. Even if they don’t, you can still manually find and install the driver yourself on any distro. If you’re really unsure, you can just google some info for your hardware and see if the distro supports it out of the box.

How to Start an Open Source Program in Your Company

February 6, 2018

With 65% of companies using open source software, it’s not just internet-scale companies that can benefit from formal open source programs.

Many internet-scale companies, including Google, Facebook, and Twitter, have established formal open source programs (sometimes referred to as open source program offices, or OSPOs for short), a designated place where open source consumption and production is supported inside a company. With such an office in place, any business can execute its open source strategies in clear terms, giving the company tools needed to make open source a success. An open source program office’s responsibilities may include establishing policies for code use, distribution, selection, and auditing; engaging with open source communities; training developers; and ensuring legal compliance.

Linux and Open Source: A Recipe for Innovation

By

The Linux Foundation

-

February 5, 2018

Technology is like a good soufflé. The original recipe might be developed by an individual, but it changes and evolves as other people take the recipe and make it even better. And when you get the perfect combination of ingredients, it can be amazing.

That’s the idea behind the first-ever INDEX community event coming up February 20-22 in San Francisco, which will feature a keynote presentation from The Linux Foundation’s executive director, Jim Zemlin. Harnessing the power of shared innovation is crucial to remaining competitive in today’s markets, and Jim will discuss building sustainable open source projects to advance the next generation of modern computing.

There has never been a more pressing time to speed technology innovation. We are on the verge of an era of disruption, with artificial Intelligence and blockchain being just two examples of this. The INDEX developer conference features more than 100 sessions and keynotes exploring these and other technologies, and it provides a forum where developers can collaborate to build the perfect soufflé, er, solution.

Linux Foundation project communities will be interested in the free Open Community meetings taking place on February 20. Cloud Foundry, Hyperledger, architect and Node-RED (both hosted with the JS Foundation), Kubernetes (a Cloud Native Computing Foundation project), Node.js, OpenAPI Spec and R statistical language community members will each get together for half-day sessions. Registration for those is free.

Don’t miss the opportunity to meet and build with developers February 20-22 at INDEX.

CoreOS, Red Hat and Kubernetes Competition

By

The New Stack

February 5, 2018

Red Hat announced intention to buy CoreOS might affect the rest of the container ecosystem. Container runtime development will go forward, with perhaps more emphasis on the Kubernetes container runtime interface (CRI-O) project. However, the engineers at Docker, CoreOS and Red Hat continue to make contributions to other container runtime projects, such as containerd, rkt and Atomic. CoreOS’ Container Linux appears to be end-of-life in favor of Red Hat’s offering. CoreOS-led etcd and Flannel are already core components of many Kubernetes stacks and that will likely continue. Red Hat may also take the container registry Quay and bundle it into their larger container offering.

CNCF to Host Vitess

By

Cloud Native Computing Foundation

February 5, 2018

Today, the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) Technical Oversight Committee (TOC) voted to accept Vitess as the 16th hosted project, alongside Kubernetes, Prometheus, OpenTracing, Fluentd, Linkerd, gRPC, CoreDNS, containerd, rkt, CNI, Envoy, Jaeger, Notary, TUF and Rook. Vitess has been accepted as an incubation-level project, under the CNCF Graduation Criteria v1.0.

Originally created as an internal solution by YouTube to handle scaling for massive amounts of storage, Vitess is a database orchestration system for horizontal scaling of MySQL through generalized sharding. By encapsulating shard-routing logic, Vitess allows application code and database queries to remain agnostic to the distribution of data onto multiple shards. With Vitess, organizations can even split and merge shards as needs grow, with an atomic cutover step that takes only a few seconds. Companies like BetterCloud, Flipkart, Quiz of Kings, Slack, Square Cash, Stitch Labs and YouTube are using Vitess across various stages of production and deployment. Organizations including Booking.com, GitHub, HubSpot, Slack, and Square are also active contributors to the project.
