At the Red Hat Summit I was able to grab sometime with Chander Kant, CEO of open source back-up provider, Zmanda.
I had previously met Chander at the MySQL conference where they were named a
partner of the year, but we didn't get a
chance to talk much. It was pretty cool to hear about how
he originally identified the opportunity for Zmanda and then
built a business around it.

[Read more]As of today, the third, final and largest code release for Open High Availability Cluster has been made available. This now means that all of the Open HA Cluster code is available as free software. This will allow developers and admins to access and build complete HA solutions built on source code from the OpenSolaris project.
Right before the launch I grabbed some time with Meenakshi
Kaul-Basu, the engineering director at Sun responsible for
Availability products, and whose group the Open HA Cluster falls
under. Take a listen to Meenakshi's explanation of the
event and her insight:

[Read more]There are a few podcasts I tend to listen to as I have time. Since I work with a wide range of technologies, I've tried to group them together into a semblance of order. There are a few others I am evaluating, but since I haven't listened to a large enough body of work, I'll refrain from listing them at this time. If there's one you think is particularly valuable or interesting that I don't have listed, please leave it in the comments.

This one runs twice a week and is about an hour each podcast, but if you can spare the time, it's worth the listen.

[Read more]Last week, at the end of JavaOne day one, I was able to grab the JRuby dynamic duo for a podcast. Tom Enebo and Charlie Nutter turned out to be really nice guys, must be their midwestern roots, and were a pleasure to talk to (I also learned a lot :).

As promised, after individual presentations at
last week's CommunityOne I brought together the community
leaders of three of the top GNU/Linux distros (Zonker
Brockmeier, OpenSUSE; Jono Bacon, Ubuntu; Karsten Wade, Fedora), threw in Glynn Foster of
OpenSolaris and moderated a no-holds-barred panel. (It took
them three hours to clean up the blood afterwards!!)
Although the panel itself wasn't recorded, immediately after it concluded, the five of us headed to the make-shift podcast studio we had set up at the event …
