Rackspace Embraces Amazon's Cloud
Rackspace is expanding beyond the confines of its own cloud to support Amazon's cloud. It's a move that will see Rackspace expand its Fanatical Support and Managed Security offerings to Amazon Web Services (AWS) customers.
Rackspace is primarily known as a hosting and cloud vendor, with its own infrastructure. In the last five years, Rackspace has expanded outward with the open-source OpenStack cloud, as a rival to AWS. For most of AWS' history, Rackspace executives have been competitively positioning Rackspace as the supported alternative to AWS. But that is now changing as Rackspace is now positioning itself a the place where cloud customers, regardless of whether they run on OpenStack or in AWS, can come for a managed support experience.

IBM Uses Nvidia GPU Accelerators in Linux Power Systems
The vendor reportedly is rolling out new servers that run on Power 8 processors and also include Nvidia's Tesla K80 graphics products.
IBM officials for the past few years have been working with Nvidia to bring GPU accelerators to some of Big Blue's Power-based servers used by enterprises and supercomputing organizations, and earlier this year said Nvidia's Tesla K80 GPUs would be used in bare-metal server in its SoftLayer cloud environment. -

Just let your people do their jobs
I don't read many management books, but I was very curious to read Jim Whitehurst's The Open Organization because there's a lot corporate America (and academia) can learn from free and open source projects. The fact that Red Hat, where Whitehurst serves as CEO, is a wildly successful business adds weight to his methodology (since presumably anyone can lose money with free software, but it's quite a trick to make money with it).

Eclipse p2 Droplets in Rawhide
So p2 Droplets have been in Rawhide for a little while now, and since then we’ve converted most Eclipse plugins to build using the new format. With the exception of some cases that will be done manually, pretty much everything building with the XMvn macros (%mvn_build, %mvn_install) is guaranteed to be a p2 Droplet after a rebuild. We still support the old format (Dropins), and an installation on rawhide can detect both types, but the goal is to switch completely to Droplets.

Fedora kernel exploded tree part deux: Snakes and assumptions
I've been using the tool to generate exploded trees for the past week or so. It seems to be working well, and I've published them at https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/jwboyer/fedora.git/ once again. There is a history gap there as the tree fell into disrepair for a while, but it should be kept current going forward.

Long Overdue Debconf 15 Post
Debcamp was great, I got to hack on some of my Python related packages that were in need of love for a long time and also got to spend a lot of time tinkering with VLC for the Video Team. Even better than that, I caught up with a lot of great people I haven’t seen in ages (and met new ones) and stayed up waaaaay too late drinking beer, playing Mao and watching meteor showers.

Real-time Linux gets a leg up into more complex computing systems
Back in 2006, Linus Torvalds said, "Controlling a laser with Linux is crazy, but everyone in this room is crazy in his own way. So if you want to use Linux to control an industrial welding laser, I have no problem with your using PREEMPT_RT." The debate on whether Linux should be a real-time operating system was on.

Open Source ESC Developed for Longboard Commute
For electric and remote control vehicles – from quadcopters to electric longboards – the brains of the outfit is the Electronic Speed Controller (ESC). The ESC is just a device that drives a brushless motor in response to a servo signal, but in that simplicity is a lot of technology. For the last few months, [Ben] has been working on a completely open source ESC, and now he’s riding around on an electric longboard that’s powered by drivers created with his own hands.
