Fedora and Red Hat Leftovers

• Fedora 28 : The Powertop tool from Intel.

• One month of GSoC with The Fedora Project: Amitosh

  It’s been a month since I have been working on my Google Summer of Code project with The Fedora Project. And in this month, I have been working on “Improving the back-end of the Fedora App”. This month has been particularly interesting – with challenges to solve and stuff to learn, it has been a very satisfying experience so far.

• Fedora 28 : Godot game engine.

• API Management Achieves Center Stage as Big Data Analytics and IoT See Further Development

  3scale was acquired by Red Hat in 2016 so that the software company could address growing engagement of internal APIs in microservices and containers and rising count of public APIs by extending its management strengths. In a Red Hat Summit 2018 interview, Steve Willmott, senior director and API infrastructure head at Red Hat gave out some useful tips on crafting API management strategies, drew comparison between competing API management platforms and 3scale, and presented vital elements of 3scale’s roadmap.

• From here on, Red Hat's new GPLv2 software projects will have GPLv3 cure for license violators

  Red Hat on Monday said all of its newly initiated open-source projects that adopt GPLv2 or LGPLv2.1 licenses will be expected to include the GPLv3 "cure" provision. The move follows Red Hat's announcement last November, in conjunction with Facebook, Google and IBM, that the four companies intended to extend the GPLv3 violation remediation language to existing projects under GPLv2, LGPLv2.1 and LGPLv2, except when defending against lawsuits. In March, CA Technologies, Cisco, HPE, Microsoft, SAP and SUSE joined the group of companies working to make the licenses more friendly to accidental violators.

Kubuntu 18.04 Bionic Beaver upgrades - Results!

A month later, two upgrades later, Kubuntu 18.04 Bionic Beaver is a nicer distribution than what I tested shortly after its official release. But then, it's not perfect. The older box with the Nvidia card returned better results overall, although there were some niggles. On the multi-boot laptop, I wasn't too happy with the slow-boot issue, although this is NOT a Kubuntu-specific problem, as you will learn in a few days. But it still does not give me the razor-sharp confidence I need and expect from an LTS. In general, Ubuntu-family upgrades are reasonably robust, but they can still be more streamlined, including package removal, third-party repos and odd glitches here and there. I wonder how I'd have felt if I tested Beaver fresh, right now. Alas, I cannot delete the memory of my first encounter. With Trusty, it was just right. Here, it might be right, and I may even end up using - and loving - Plasma Bionic in my prod setup, but it will never be the amazing chemistry I had with 14.04. But if you're wondering, by all means, worth testing and upgrading, and the post-release Kubuntu Beaver is a pretty slick and tight distro. If I had to judge in isolation, i.e. no early-May scars, then when I combine performance, looks, fonts, media, hardware support, and such, 'tis really neat. Something like 9/10. Now, just waiting for the Men In Black mind-zapping eraser thingie, so I can be blissfully happy. And we're done.
