• OpenStack API Benchmarking and Scaling — 3 Test Cases
• Red Hat and Veritas Team to Support Applications on OpenStack

  Now that so many enterprises have moved from the evaluation stage to deployment of OpenStack, they are in need of ways to organize and protect the applications they run in the cloud. That calls for storage, application management and security solutions--a space where Veritas has traditionally been prominent.

  Now, Red Hat, which has been accelerating its OpenStack efforts, has announced a collaboration with Veritas aimed at supporting business critical enterprise applications on OpenStack. The two companies have already teamed on business continuity, storage management and data protection solutions for Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Red Hat Virtualization. Now they plan to work together "to offer predictable quality of service to OpenStack applications and workloads, regardless of scale."

• KDE at FISL 2016

  The 17th edition of the International Free Software Forum (FISL) took place, as usual, at Pontifical Catholic University of Rio Grande do Sul's Convention Center, city of Porto Alegre, from 13th to 16th July. FISL is the largest FOSS conference in Latin America and a quite traditional venue to get a comprehensive panorama of all sorts of FOSS-related new topics: technical advances, adoption cases, FOSS and education, hacker culture, just to mention a few.

  This year, FISL started an effort which aims at strengthening the respect for diversity in FOSS communities. Many activities were led by and/or had the participation of minority groups, emphasizing the need for respect and diversity regarding gender identity, special needs, sexual orientation, physical appearance, race, ethnicity, religion and socioeconomic status.

• To EGLStream or not

  The announcement of KDE Neon dev/unstable switching to Wayland by default raised quite a few worried comments as NVIDIA’s proprietary driver is not supported. One thing should be clear: we won’t break any setups. We will make sure that X11 is selected by default if the given hardware setup does not support Wayland. Nevertheless I think that the amount of questions show that I should discuss this in more detail.

• LVFS and ODRS are down
• Updates Enhance Audio, Graphics, Telepathy

  Snapshots this week added new sensations for Tumbleweed users, but there were plenty of other updates in the repositories to get people excited.

  While snapshot 20160907 added some subpackages to enhance PulseAudio and updated telepathy-qt5 to version 0.9.7, GStreamer fixed quite a few bugs in its update to version 1.8.3 to improve media processing. Wine’s 32-bit subpackage update in the snapshot, bringing it to version 1.9.18, added support for multiple kernel drivers in a single process.

• Samsung’s Gear 360 Now Works with other smartphones, See how

  Samsung’s Gear 360 camera works with just a few high-end Samsung smartphones like the Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge, the same way the Gear VR headset only supports select Samsung smartphones. Seems Samsung placed some sort of restriction of all other smartphone brands, allowing the app to support only some mostly high-end Samsung smartphones. The Korean giant also disabled 4K video filming in the Gear 360 on all devices except the Galaxy S7. But all these are now past, as a new modified version of the Samsung Gear 360 Manager has emerged which opens up the Gear 360 to work with other smartphones.

• Won’t turn in your Note 7? Samsung will gimp your battery

  Samsung shipped around 2.5 million potentially explosive Galaxy Note 7s out into the world, and now it needs customers to bring them back. Getting the masses to relinquish their smartphones, even when they can be a danger to them or the things around them, has proven to be a challenge. To encourage stubborn owners to turn in their devices, Samsung will push out an Over The Air (OTA) update to recalled Note 7s that will limit the battery to 60-percent capacity. The hope is that customers will be annoyed into action.

The beta of the upcoming KDE Plasma 5.8 -- the first Plasma 5 long-term support release -- is now available for early testing...

I just started using LM18 the other day at home (but have Linux experience from work) and everything about it works better than Windows 10. I don't have to deal with the random slowdown I dealt with in Windows 10 nor all the thrown in apps I would never in a million years use. And on top of all that, it's free. There are programs to closely mimic most all Windows programs that usually perform even better than their windows counterparts.

Is it just that people are not aware that there is an alternative to Windows that's free and in almost every way better (with the exception of 3rd party support simply because it's not as popular)? Maybe the fact that it's never an option on store-bought PCs or laptops for the more casual users?

Thought to share a smaller collection of useful Linux one-liner commands. These could come pretty handy at times.

• Find all files containing a specific string and delete them. grep -lrIZ Windows . | xargs -0 rm -f --

• Rename all file in a folder with a prefix in a single command. rename 's//Unix_/' * ls | xargs -I {} mv {} Unix_{}

• Find Out the system's Arch-type. uname -m | sed 's/x86_//;s/i[3-6]86/32/' getconf LONG_BIT

• Create a folder and enter into it at the same time. mkdir folder && cd !$

• Determine the last cat command executed. !cat:p

• Find out the recently logged-in users. last [UserNameHere]

• Command to test the internet bandwidth. wget -O - https://raw.github.com/sivel/speedtest-cli/master/speedtest_cli.py | python

• Command to determine the version of USB devices installed. lsusb -v | grep -i bcdusb

• Find out the VM type currently running. sudo dmidecode -s system-product-name

• Get the sum of all threads running in the system. ps -eo nlwp | tail -n +2 | awk '{ num_threads += $1 } END { print num_threads }'

When Apache began the public discussion of what to do with OpenOffice, I knew someone would bring up the LibreOffice remerger. Today Jack Wallen did just that. Elsewhere, Neil Rickert said that Solus still needs more work to be a daily driver and more on NVIDIA with Wayland was discussed in the Land of Wobbly Windows. Sebastian Kuegler blogged Plasma 5.8 excludes Wayland from long term support and Bruce Byfield highlighted seven KDE applications sometimes forgotten and Dedoimedo pimped Xfce.

One of the many things we like about Ms. Shroder is that she makes difficult technology easy to understand. She’s also fun to read. And as you’ll discover in this interview, she’s also a quick wit who won’t be backed into a corner.

Docker containers are ephemeral by design. They come and they go like a herd of hyperactive squirrels, which is great for high availability, but not so great for preserving your data. Kendrick Coleman of EMC {code} demonstrated how to have both ephemeral containers and persistent data in his talk called "Highly Available & Distributed Containers" at ContainerCon North America.
