He was also voted by leading South African CEO's as a speaker who has made the most significant contribution to, and impact on, best practice and business in South Africa.

Key speakers at this year's event included Brian Clark, Vice President & Chief Architect, NYSE Euronext, who described how the New York Stock Exchange deploys Linux across their lines of business as a competitive strength, and highlighted the role Linux plays in the architecture behind NYSE and the new roles Linux is playing in light of the economic environment. IDC's Al Gillen provided an overview of the Linux market and context for the position of Linux versus other competitive solutions in the market today and in the future. Tim Golden from Bank of America focused on the current adoption curve to open source software for end user companies and community participation scenarios; various methods that end user companies can utilize to participate as community members and offensive strategies that end users can adopt to prepare for larger, more active roles in the Linux community. Panel discussions were also a big part of the Summit, especially the popular "The Future of Linux: Straight From the Source" panel moderated by Novell's James Bottomley, with Len Brown from Intel Corporation; kernel developer Christoph Lameter; and Theodore Ts'o from the Linux Foundation, who discussed the Linux kernel's past, present, and future. ==> Japan Linux Symposium Videos Available <== The Japan Linux Symposium has been deemed a success by many who attended the October show in Tokyo, Japan. This newest Linux Foundation event in Asia Pacific brought togethRead More er developers, managers, executives, students and end users from Japan, Korea, China and many international countries. The event featured noted Linux and open source rock stars from around the world, including a keynote interview with Linus Torvalds, conducted by LF Executive Director Jim Zemlin. In his brief introduction, Zemlin highlighted some key numbers that are a part of the Linux ecosystem. 2,700,000. Number of lines of code added to kernel in the last year according to the recently updated "Who Writes Linux" paper from the Linux Foundation. 10,923. Number of lines of code added to the Linux kernel every day. 5,547. Number of lines deleted every day. 1. There's only one Linus Torvalds, founder of Linux. After his introduction, Zemlin sat down with Torvalds, who discussed the huge growth of Linux, how it came to be, and where it's going next. Visit http://www.linux.com/media-library/videos/167032-japan-linux-symposium-keynote-linus-torvalds-a-jim-zemlinto see the video of this interview, and http://video.linuxfoundation.org/categories/2009-japan-linux-symposium to watch the rest of the videos from selected JLS sessions. ==> New Members Elected to Linux Foundation Technical Advisory Board <== The Linux Foundation has announced the results of its 2009 Technical Advisory Board (TAB) election, which was held at the Japan Linux Symposium in Tokyo. The TAB consists of ten members of the Linux kernel community who are annually elected by their peers to serve staggered, two-year terms. The TAB collaborates with the Linux Foundation on programs and issues that affect the Linux community. The TAB Chair also sits on the board of the Linux Foundation. Three new members were elected to the TAB this year: * Alan Cox, employed by Intel SSG and manager of major Linux projects such as the original Linux SMP implementation, the Linux Mac68K port and an experimental 16bit Linux subset port to the 8086; * Thomas Gleixner, who manages bug reports for NAND FLASH, core timers and the unified x86 architecture; and * Ted Ts?o, the first North American Linux kernel developer and Linux Foundation fellow. Ted was also voted as the new Vice Chair. Re-elected for two-year terms are Jon Corbet, Linux kernel developer and author of the Linux Kernel Weather Report, and Greg Kroah-Hartman, employed by Novell and kernel maintainer for the ?stable branch as well as manager of the Linux Device Driver Project. http://www.linux.com/news/featured-blogs/168-brian-proffitt/202314-cox-gleixner-tso-elected-to-technical-advisory-board ==> New Perks for Individual Members Very Popular <== Last month the Linux Foundation announced new, exclusive benefits for individual members, including employee purchase pricing from Dell, HP and Lenovo, and the opportunity to secure a Linux.com email address for life. The program has proven to be very popular. Linux Foundation individual members can now get up to 40 percent off of Lenovo devices and standard employee purchase pricing from Dell and HP. Dell also offers a best price guarantee to Linux Foundation members. These benefits can translate into hundreds or thousands of dollars for those who purchase their devices as part of this program. Existing members that would like to ensure their Linux.com email address is permanent and not dependent on Linux Foundation membership renewal can elect to secure it with a one-time $150 fee. New members who want the same benefit will pay a total of $249 for the first year?s membership and the lifetime benefit.

The steering committee of the Moblin Project, the Intel-initiated effort that was spun off to the Linux Foundation earlier this year, proudly announced a raft of capabilities new to version 2.1. (http://www.theregister.co.uk/2009/11/05/moblin_2point1_released/) Ars Technica: Linux Foundation Aims to Boost Membership with New Perks The Linux Foundation is hoping to boost its membership by offering new perks to individual members. These perks include a lifetime e-mail account at the linux.com domain and modest hardware discounts from some of the organization's partners.

"We designed an operating system that saves them time and money." But Jim Zemlin, executive director of the Linux Foundation, counters that Linux is a better fit for cash-strapped businesses. "Linux is younger and cheaper than Windows, and we are very patient." (http://www.usatoday.com/tech/news/2009-10-22-windows-microsoft-linux_N.htm) BNET: Why Microsoft Will Lose the Mobile OS Wars It doesn?t matter whether you think that Linux Foundation executive director Jim Zetlin is right when he predicts that the open source OS will become ascendant. It doesn?t matter whether you are a Google or Apple booster. It also doesn?t matter whether you think, as my colleague Michael Hickins does, that browsers and HTML 5 will largely eliminate the importance of the OS. (By the way, I think his argument, though not an absolute lock on the future, is well considered.) ( http://industry.bnet.com/technology/10003763/why-microsoft-will-lose-the-mobile-os-wars/ ) The H: Linux-Kongress 2009: New Filesystems, Optimised Programming IBM developer Theodore Ts'o, who has been "outsourced" to the Linux Foundation as a CTO (Chief Technology Officer) for the time being, presented the conference's opening keynote. In his presentation "Linux and Open Source in 2010 and Beyond," he identified mobile computing and cloud computing as the two IT sectors where companies are currently showing a particular interest in Linux, replacing proprietary solutions with Linux-based technologies. ( http://www.h-online.com/open/features/Linux-Kongress-2009-New-filesystems-optimised-programming-852084.html ) Crave: How to Run Quake III and HD videos on a Netbook However, it's beginning to seem like the limitation is not on the hardware, but the drivers. Martin Mohring, from the Linux Foundation, was at a Mobile Dev Camp event in Germany. There, he showed an MSI Wind U115 with an Atom Z530 1.6GHz/Intel GMA 500 combo not only playing an HD video clip, but also running Quake III at about 35fps. (http://news.cnet.com/8301-17938_105-10388590-1.html) ==> From the Foundation: Cloud Computing Too Costly in the Long Term? <== During their own Sept. 29 Cloud Computing Summit, IDC made what at first glance sounded like a self-defeating statement: clouds, in the long run, are actually a more expensive option than a company running its own datacenter. The story came out today from Computerworld UK... it gives good coverage of the presentation made at the Summit by Matthew McCormack, Consultant, European Systems Group, IDC. Lots of good quotes. I wanted to see the numbers, though, and while looking to contact McCormack, I found just the information I was looking for. IDC ran a model that analyzed what the costs would be to run 100 percent of a large company's IT infrastructure entirely within the cloud versus on their own data center. It turns out that according to IDC's estimates, after the first three years of a cloud IT operation, costs would exceed those of an optimally run datacenter, and that includes the added three-year refresh cycles costs of 30 percent for the datacenter (see slide 6). By the end of 10 years, costs for the cloud operation would hit ?26M (US$41M), while the datacenter would only rack up ?15M (US$24.6M).

The Nemertes press releaseon the paper was widely reported in newspapers. It described itself as a ". . . landmark study . . . groundbreaking analysis . . . evidence the exaflood is coming . . . " It said, *The findings indicate that by 2010 . . . users could increasingly encounter Internet "brownouts" or interruptions to the applications they?ve become accustomed to using on the internet.* We are mere weeks from 2010. There's no sign of The Exaflood or brownouts. In fact, the best data indicate that Internet growth appears to be slowing. In two short years, the Nemertes paper's main conclusion is falsified by the data. Now Johna Till Johnson says, Hello Net Neutrality, Goodbye Internet. She says that Net Neutrality gives carriers *. . . just one option for recouping their costs: Charge by the bit.* Wow. Talk about false choices! Maybe she's forgotten about "charge by the month," and "charge more for faster connections." How about "charge more for better service." Maybe the poor carriers aren't making enough to build faster Internet connections. Verizon just made a paltry $6 billion in profits last year and paid $1.3 billion in dividends. AT&T made $12 billion and paid out $2.5 billion to shareholders. These companies need help, Johna. They're really suffering from too much government regulation to build a good Internet. Johna Till Johnson's "Goodbye Internet" screed misses today's real Net Neutrality action, which is in wireless. The wireless NN action is not about big bandwidth at all. Quite the opposite. Spurred by FCC Chairman Genichowski's recent speech suggesting that wireless NN should be the law of the land, the discussion has shifted to whether wireless companies have the right to block competing low bandwidth apps like texting and telephony over IP. As Wall Street analyst Craig Moffett recently said in the Washington Post , *For wireless, the arbitrage risk comes from low bandwidth applications like Skype and Google Voice, but unfortunately for the voice business, almost all the revenue today comes from low bandwidth voice and data applications. So it's a risk that simply can't be managed by the adoption of usage-based pricing schemes. So up to now, operators have managed that risk by simply prohibiting certain applications. In net neutral world, they wouldn't have that luxury.* Network Neutrality has never been about the idea of too much bandwidth on a limited network. That's dinosaur feces. It's always been about whether the telcos and cablecos could leverage ties between their network and certain apps to make discriminatory, anti-competitive profits. The strength of the Internet is that it accepts all traffic without a "will it make money" test. That's why a Pez dispenser collector could grow a hobbyist site into eBay. It's how two Stanford students could grow their thesis into Google. It's how an Israeli apps company that wanted to reduce its phone bill invented Internet telephony. Johna Till Johnson isn't just wrong this time, she has it exactly backwards; the reality is that if we ever say "Goodbye Net Neutrality" we'll also be saying, "Goodbye Internet." -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= www.psnug.org Puget Sound Network Users Group Building Technical Skills Through Teamwork And Education.

Check out O'Reilly offerings - And perhaps it is time to seriously consider doing the same for PSNUG meetings... PS- I went to Apple "Snow Leopard" intro event, let me know if you all want a short review. PPS- If we want Apple presenter, then we need to contact the "Apple Stores" and talk with "Business Manager" to work out details.

To: opensuse-marketing If anyone here is in the Las Vegas, Nevada (USA) area and wants to give one or two presentations about the openSUSE Community at GWAVACon at the end of January, get in touch with me. This past January, Chris Hobbs and I both presented at GWAVACon on behalf of openSUSE and we had huge numbers attending the sessions. One was a SUSEStudio demonstration and the other was on the benefits of getting involved in the Community (aimed at Novell partners and customers.) GWAVACon appreciated us and invited us to attend once again. But, unfortunately, we don't have a travel budget, so I can't go. Understand, if you go, it's on your own dime. But if you're also interested in GroupWise and other Novell topics, it's a good opportunity to go, present sessions and get free admission to the conference to see other relevant sessions. If you volunteer to go, I will be more than happy to work with you on tailoring good session topics aimed at this audience market. Let me know ASAP.

Doors open by 6:30 PM for setup. Super fast T-1 internet connections available. We will review the rapid advance of the Linux operating system and what to expect in the near future. We will also look at the newly released or upcoming Linux distributions including Mepis Linux 8.5 B1 (which runs on Debian and adds improvements), Puppy Linux 4.3.1 for old/low capacity computers, flash drives, etc, Debian Linux 5.0.3 , OpenSUSE 11.2 , Kubuntu 9.10& Fedora 12 . We will look at new advances in Skype , Gizmo and continue to explore Dimdimvirtual online meeting capability and take a look at Virtual Private Networks (VPN), Krdc , Krfb, Kvpnc , TightVNC , OpenVPN , Putty SSH Client, Ekiga & Yugma . We will also look at the basics for cross compiling Mepis Linux to the upcoming sub $200 ARM netbooksand what is involved in compiling the Linux kernelusing QT Creator , GCC, etc. Because there are no physical machines yet to test ARM Linuxsuch as Debian ARM 5.0.3, and we haven't yet had success running it virtually on Qemu, we are running Debian i386 5.0.3 to get up to speed on the software assuming the ARM software will be similar.

Here's how the new program works: for every new individual member who joins the Linux Foundation before January 31, 2010, the Linux Foundation will give a free membership to a student for one year. Students who are interested in obtaining a sponsored membership can sign up on a waiting list at http://www.linuxfoundation.org/about/join/individual/student-waiting-listand will be sponsored on a first-come, first-serve basis. When they join the Linux Foundation, new individual members can elect to either sponsor a student on the waiting list or can request the membership be given to a friend or family member. To sponsor a specific student, new members should list the student's name and email address in the order comments on the checkout page. Any student, whether specified or on the waiting list, will be required to show proof of student status in the form of a valid student ID. Members have access to exclusive benefits, including a Linux.com email address (ex: joe at linux.com ); a Linux Foundation t-shirt; employee purchase pricing at Dell, HP, and Lenovo with savings up to 40% on purchases of hardware and accessories; 35% off O?Reilly books and e-books; a variety of deep discounts to attend events or subscribe to industry publications; and the ability to run for a Linux Foundation board seat, among others. Visit the Individual Membership page at http://www.linuxfoundation.org/about/join/individual to learn about all of the great benefits you receive with Individual Membership and to become an Linux Foundation member. ==> 4th Annual Collaboration Summit Approaches <== The 4th Annual Linux Foundation Collaboration Summit is on track for April 14-16, 2010, at the Hotel Kabuki in San Francisco, CA. Japantown will be the location again in 2010 for the Summit, an invitation-only event that will gather core kernel developers, distribution maintainers, ISVs, end users, system vendors and other community organizations to meet face-to-face to tackle and solve the most pressing issues facing Linux today. If you want to be a part of this event, request an invite at http://events.linuxfoundation.org/component/registrationpro/?func=details&did=26 . Registration is limited so please submit your invitation request to the Collab Summit today. ==> More Japan Linux Symposium Videos Available <== The Japan Linux Symposium was well attended in Tokyo in October, but if you couldn't make it to the event, you still have a chance to watch key sessions of the Symposium at the Linux Foundation Video site. Linux Foundation staffers are still posting videos of keynote sessions, now with English captions, and attendees of the Symposium are publishing their own videos of the technical sessions as well. To see all of the videos, visit the Video site at http://video.linuxfoundation.org/categories/conferences-symposiums/2009-japan-linux-symposium . ==> LinuxCon 2010 Dates, Location Set <== The enormous success of LinuxCon in 2009 demonstrated a real need for a professional, educational event in the Linux community that allowed users of all levels and interests to come together and plan the future of Linux. LinuxCon 2010 will take place August 10-12, 2010 at the Renaissance Boston Waterfront in Boston, MA. The 2010 location taps into the vast amount of open source talent and business acumen found on the East Coast, and in the Boston area in particular. For more information on the next LinuxCon, visit http://events.linuxfoundation.org/events/linuxcon. ==> Linux Foundation in the News <== CNET News: Zemlin: 'Industry transformation depends on Linux' (Q&A) The closest thing to a CEO in Linux land is Jim Zemlin, executive director of The Linux Foundation. While Zemlin doesn't steer the Linux ship, he does a great deal to corral its competing interests--vendors, developers, customers--to guide Linux to the impressive market position it holds today. I caught up with Zemlin late last week to get a pulse on the state of Linux in the market. As ever, Zemlin didn't disappoint. (http://news.cnet.com/8301-13505_3-10410237-16.html) Alibaba.com: Why The Crunchpad Didn't Pencil Out Set aside the particulars of the Crunchpad drama for a moment and talk to Jim Zemlin, executive director of the Linux Foundation. Software is already free. Chipmakers such as Intel have teams of hundreds of engineers building sophisticated software for consumer electronics around the Linux operating system, Zemlin says. Hardware, meanwhile, is only getting cheaper. The materials bill for a decent laptop is now as little as $150, he explains. ( http://news.alibaba.com/article/detail/technology/100208980-1-why-crunchpad-didn%2527t-pencil-out.html ) PC World: Microsoft and Rivals Trash Talk Google Chrome OS Other rivals said they welcomed Chrome OS. Jim Zemlin, executive director of The Linux Foundation, said, "What's good for Chrome is good for Moblin, and what's good for Moblin is good for Chrome." ( http://www.pcworld.com/article/182792/microsoft_and_rivals_trash_talk_google_chrome_os.html ) OSNews: Nobel Peace Prize to Linus Torvalds? Now this is one to ponder. This year, the Nobel Peace Prize went to Barack Obama, president of the United States. The prize has been given to both politicians and non-politicians alike, and Keith Lofstrom thinks its time to hand over the Peace Prize to a non-politician once more: Linus Torvalds. (http://www.osnews.com/story/22514/Nobel_Peace_Prize_to_Linus_Torvalds_) ZDNet Asia: Developers Get Beta SDK for Atom Intel [has] launched a test version of its software developer kit (SDK) for the Atom Developer Program, part of the company's plan to sell Atom software on behalf of developers via a network of application stores. (http://www.zdnetasia.com/news/software/0,39044164,62059796,00.htm) ==> From the Foundation: Browser Shares Reveal True Benefits of Open Source <== Open source browsers are at a third of the market share, and with the newcomer Chrome on the scene, we can only expect this open source share to increase in the coming months. There are three positives that come out of data like this. First, there's the obvious argument against open-source naysayers: there are very few arguments one would have against the success of open source as a general concept when looking at the popularity of open source browsers. Second, there's the nice fact that nearly all of these browsers provide a nice set of Linux applications for people to try. Firefox, Opera, and Konqueror are great Linux browsers already, and the Chromium development version of Chrome works pretty well on Linux for now. But I believe the most important takeaway from this data is that we have finally reached a tipping point for open standards across the entire web.
