The second half of last week I attended the Red Hat Summit and FUDCon which Sun and MySQL were silver sponsors of. The events were co-located at the Hynes convention center in Boston.
Although both events featured an impressive list of topics and
tracks, other than the keynotes I spent the majority of my time
meeting and talking to people. One of my goals was to
figure out how Sun can better work with Fedora to get more of our software into their
distro.
A few key Fedorans: Max Spevak, Dennis Gilmore, Tom "Spot"
Callaway, Jeremy Katz, Paul Frields, Jesse Keating.
President and CEO Jim Whitehurst chats with Fedora board member, Karsten Wade, …
[Read more]I was writing a utility in Python (using boto) to test/play with Amazon’s SQS service. As boto isn’t particularly well documented where SQS specifically is concerned, I also plan to post some examples (either here or on Linuxlaboratory.org, or both). When I had some trouble getting a message that was sent to a queue, I went to the Amazon documentation, and found this little gem in the Amazon Web Services FAQ
I am sure that my queue has messages, but a call to ReceiveMessage returned none. What could be the problem?
Due to the distributed nature of the queue, a weighted random set of machines is sampled on a ReceiveMessage call. That means only the messages on the sampled machines are returned. If the number of messages in the queue is small (less than 1000), it is …

[Read more]Matt Asay is excited about Red Hat’s Spacewalk project to release the code behind its Red Hat Network Satellite product under an open source license (as he should be, he’s been waiting over a year for it). As well as anticipation, Matt’s excitement can also be attributed to the potential for Spacewalk to become the default management platform for open source software.
As he writes:
“What is the first thing that MySQL and JBoss did to add value to their support subscriptions? Build networks. What, presumably, will be the first things that other open-source companies do? Build networks.
What is the result? A swamp of incompatible service-delivery networks.

[Read more]While we're on the topic of Bazaar - this week I got informed by the organizers of the FrOSCon 2008 conference that they accepted two of my talk proposals: one session will be an introduction to this source code management system (what a coincidence), the other one will be an introduction to OpenSolaris for Linux users, explaining some of the underlying technologies and how they differ from what a seasoned Linux user may be accustomed to.
And no, I have not given up on using Linux - quite the contrary! I have been very impressed by the latest OpenSUSE 11.0 release and already run it for since quite some time on several of my work systems. In fact, I already convinced several colleagues of mine to …
