An Open Source Mashup for Amazon EC2
,----[ Quote ]
| Part one of this article, Cloud Computing and Open Source, presented an
| overview of several cloud computing solutions available today that are
| friendly to open source. In this article we'll focus on one of these
| solutions, Amazon's Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2), and walk through the
| development of an open source mashup for EC2. Amazon EC2 is a top player in
| the cloud computing space and gives organizations the ability to leverage
| world-class compute resources on a pay-as-you-go basis. It also provides a
| rich set of APIs based on open standards and the ability to mix and match
| other Amazon services such as Simple Queue Service (SQS), Simple Storage
| Service (S3), SimpleDB, and Elastic Block Store (EBS), to build innovative
| applications for the cloud.

Converting a NSLU2 into an RTorrent appliance
,----[ Quote ]
| The irony of this firmware replacement (as this will require) is that the
| Linksys NSLU2 is a kind of instant NAS; plug in a drive or two via USB and
| you have a NAS. I picked up the NSLU2 at a Linux embedded programming
| tutorial and since I reburned the machine in the act of applying power for
| the first time I have only seen this as OpenWRT.

The New Linux Developer Network
,----[ Quote ]
| We’ve hired a new guy to run the LDN, Brian Proffitt. He’s been hard at work
| since the moment he started, asking lots of questions and building a new
| infrastructure in an amazing amount of time. And now, you can see the
| results of his initial work.

Welcoming Brian Proffitt (and looking forward to the LDN)
,----[ Quote ]
| As he disclosed there, his new role will be to help launch the Linux
| Foundation's new Linux Developer Network site and project, which Amanda has
| been already been working on for some time. When it launches, Brian will be
| its Community Manager and Editor. After almost 8 years at JupiterMedia,
| there are few people that know every part of the Linux landscape, and those
| that live, develop and write (both positively and negatively) in and around
| that landscape as well as Brian. We're both lucky and delighted to have
| Brian aboard.

Linux Market to Triple by 2012
,----[ Quote ]
| Analyst firm Research and Markets has just put out a project on Linux-based
| server and client hardware sales, and is projecting that the market will more
| than triple between 2007 and 2012.
|
| A market for a platform is not the same as an ecosystem for it, which is much
| larger in that it includes the cost of people and third-party software and
| services for the code that runs atop the platform. So the R&M Linux market
| numbers might seem a little small. In any event, the consultancy pegged the
| Linux product and services market for Linux running on servers and clients
| (but not embedded systems) at $2.4 billion in 2007.
