Open Source Software and the US Government

Open Source Software and the US Government

By Paul Miller on July 7, 2015

Open Source Software and the US Government: “…it has been determined that — in general — Members and staff in the U.S. House of Representatives, when conducting official business, now have a choice between using proprietary and closed technology and open source solutions that are restriction-free, reusable and frequently more cost-effective.” That this is news, […]

What really is Open Source Software and what’s this community nonsense they ask…

By Adron Hall on September 21, 2012

Open Source Software (OSS), Why Some Fail At It OSS has won the war. It has been over for years now. Microsoft has ceded, Oracle, VMware and many others have stepped up and attempted to embrace the open source community. Sometimes they’ve been successful, sometimes they haven’t. They’re slowly changing their models to play well […]

Thor Project Opens Up, Building the Cloud Foundry Ecosystem with the Community

By Adron Hall on September 17, 2012

Sometimes we’re heavy on the .NET, other times we’re all up in some Java, Ruby on Rails, spooling up a Node.js Application or something else. So …

By Adron Hall on July 22, 2012

Tuesday night, as usual ended with great technical conversation at Bailey’s Taproom. Bailey’s is basically the epicenter of the Portland tech scene. Almost every programmer, devops, or technical person either goes about once a month or has this establishment as a regular watering hole! It’s great, the atmosphere is chill, the beer is SUPERB, the […]

An Open Source Software ala VMware Guide :: A.K.A. Get Clarity on Contributing to the CloudFoundry Project!

By Adron Hall on May 4, 2012

I’ve jumped into committing some source code to the Cloud Foundry Project and I wanted to document the process so far. The Cloud Foundry project is a little trickier than most open source projects, because there are a host of tools around the process. As that is the case, it isn’t a simple github repository […]

Open Source And Cloud Computing: Amazon Micro Instances Can Be Boon To SMBs

By Krishnan Subramanian on September 9, 2010

Earlier today, I wrote about Amazon’s announcement on the availability of the new Micro Instances and their aggressive pricing strategy. The surprising factor for me is their competitive pricing. Their on-demand instance is only 2 cents per hour for Linux and 3 cents per hour for Windows. A 24/7 usage of a Linux Micro Instance […]
