Microsoft recently established a .Net foundation and open-sourced substantial parts of the popular programming language, continuing to spread its newfound love for open-source software. However, another movement — DevOps — may be more of a driving factor in Microsoft's .Net move ...
Given that Atom packages always have been open source, "this isn't that big of a move," Jay Lyman, senior analyst for enterprise software with 451 Research, told LinuxInsider "However, it's good to have the actual software application or core code as open source to further fee...
There was a somewhat quiet, cost-free acquisition of sorts in the Linux world earlier this year when Red Hat announced it was joining forces with Red Hat Enterprise Linux community clone CentOS. The move, which effectively brings organization, governance, backing and technology of CentOS under Red Hat's brim, is interesting for a few reasons ...

Hybrid cloud technology is garnering much attention lately, whether for cutting-edge development and the continuous integration and release processes achieved through DevOps or for traditional enterprise-proven approaches to infrastructure and applications ...
Since its start in the summer of 2010, the OpenStack open source cloud computing project has been the subject of a lot of hype. Today, the technology, backers and users of OpenStack are giving substance to all of that sizzle, and skepticism is giving way to service provider and enterprise use cases across the globe. ...
Server provisioning, configuration management, and automation are the latest examples of where the tech industry is being driven, largely by open-source software. The leading open-source server and IT infrastructure automation frameworks, Opscode Chef and Puppet Labs' Puppet, sit on the leading edge of significant trends underway in enterprise IT -- particularly disruption from cloud computing and DevOps, where application development and IT operations come together for faster, smoother delivery of software and services...
You just think that's a Chromebook beckoning you with an open source OS, easier upgradeability and fast connections to the cloud. All those qualities could make it a Linux netbook in disguise -- or at least what the netbooks of a few years ago promised before they all started selling preloaded with Windows. The key? More manufacturers buying into the flexibility of the Linux kernel in the Chrome OS...

"How the company is perceived, as well as its opportunity among open source software developers and users, will continue to depend on Oracle's approach to open source software projects and communities."
The general public knows little about the true technology fundamentals of cloud computing, suggests a recent survey commissioned by IT vendor Citrix. Almost a third of the roughly 1,000 U.S. adults polled thought cloud computing was related to weather. ...
