[Product or project: choose for yourself A few years ago there was just one Red Hat Linux. As acceptance grew and Linux reached further into enterprise computing, one Red Hat Linux product could no longer be all things to all users. That's why in 2002 Red Hat created Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Stable, supported, certified -- Red Hat Enterprise Linux has become the Linux standard. The Fedora Project was introduced in late 2003. Built for and with the help of the open source community, the Fedora Project is for developers and high-tech enthusiasts using Linux in non-critical computing environments. Which Linux is right for you? See for yourself.]

"Earlier this month, when Red Hat was busy delivering a flurry of OpenStack-related announcements, news also came from the company that it is collaborating to drive Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) and telecommunications technology into OpenStack. Red Hat is forming alliances aimed at delivering a carrier-grade telecommunications offering based on Linux, Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM), and OpenStack. "

[... Hoy publico en la red una iniciativa en la que llevo bastante tiempo trabajando y que me hace especial ilusión: la edición social de mi libro, "Todo va a cambiar". ¿Qué es exactamente una edición social? Básicamente, una idea a la que llevaba bastante tiempo dandole vueltas: quería poner el libro en texto completo en la red, pero no quería limitarme simplemente a eso, sino además, explorar un poco más un formato que pudiese aprovechar las ventajas que la red puede ofrecer frente al papel. Lo que hice fue, por tanto, trabajar sobre el texto del libro pensando en dotarlo de una "dimensión red", intentando añadirle un nivel de profundidad adicional mediante una gran cantidad de enlaces (definiciones de términos en Wikipedia, referencias, entradas de mi propio blog en las que desarrollo más algunos temas, artículos o comentarios en otros sitios, etc.), y también mediante ilustraciones y vídeos que pudieran hacer más amena la lectura, plantear metáforas o evocaciones sobre los temas comentados, o contribuir al sentido o al entendimiento de lo escrito. La verdad es que es un trabajo intenso, pero que tiene mucho sentido para alguien que, como yo, utiliza el formato blog para expresarse de manera habitual: de hecho, recuerdo cómo, durante el proceso de escritura del libro, lamentaba en muchas ocasiones no poder añadir esos enlaces o referencias por no tener sentido en un formato papel. Seguro que no funciona para todos los tipos de libros ni para todas las temáticas, pero en el caso de "Todo va a cambiar", parecía tener mucha lógica. La próxima vez, si todo va bien, trataré de hacerlo durante el proceso inicial de escritura. ...]

Javascript has a major advantage of being (likely) the most installed programming language in history. It's experiencing a renaissance lately where people actually learning it, not just copying code found on someone's website. ECMAScript Harmony will bring some much needed fixes to the language (although I think ECMAScript 4 would have been a true game-changer for the web). Regardless, until we have more mature tools for sever- and DB-side javascript, Javascript is really a browser language (and faces an army of entrenched programmers who'd rather use some other language). To the second argument, I say: Javascript is an amazing language, but you can't declare it off limits to people who prefer other languages. Programming is about choice. On the server we get to use whatever combinations of web server, database, programming language, and development environment we like. Not so for the browser. We're stuck with Javascript whether we like it or not. We can't stay away from it, we can't use something else. Everyone who dislikes working in Javascript is perfectly justified because he has no other avenue. When all browsers support and are prepackaged with VMs for many languages, I'll be the first to sound the clarion: if you don't like JS, get the hell away from it. Until then, you're stuck with us and we're stuck with you. To the third: again, it's really all about to choice. If you prefer Javascript keep using it, make it better, steal ideas from other languages, and seed the community with new ideas of your own. Nobody will complain about a better overall development community. If you'd like to see Red in Python, PHP, C#, or language X then steal Jesse's code. Red was a herculean effort on Jesse's part. I know he's worked on nothing else for two months and future ports of Red to other languages will benefit from this effort.

"Xnet y demás organizaciones tras la campaña SavetheInternet.eu celebran hoy la victoria de la neutralidad de la red. Con base en una primera lectura, las nuevas directrices del Organismo de Reguladores Europeos de Comunicaciones Electronicas (BEREC) confirman una protección fuerte para la neutralidad de la red, y para el internet abierto y libre, en la UE. Aquí el documento final de las directrices: http://berec.europa.eu/eng/document_register/subject_matter/berec/download/0/6160-berec-guidelines-on-the-implementation-b_0.pdf"

"Red Hat today is announcing the general availability of its Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.7 (RHEL) milestone. RHEL 6.7 has been in beta deployments since May and is the seventh update to RHEL 6 since the server operating system first debuted in November of 2010."

POR LA LIBERTAD DE EXPRESION de Jose Ramon Blasco Artatxo Dados los continuos ataques que sufren lus usuarios de facebook en lo que respecta a la LIBERTAD DE EXPRESION, varios colectivos y usuarios individuales convocan un PARON en facebook de 24 horas como protesta por esas agresiones. DichoPARON comenzaría a las 00.00 horas del día 25 de marzo, finalizando ese mismo día 25 a las 24.00. Se hace un llamamiento para que en esas 24 horas, no se cuelgue nada en la red, y si unos minutos antes como indicaremos al final de esta nota. El hecho de cercenar lla libertad de expresión, se agrava por ser objeto, quienes estan en esta red, de indefesión continua,ya que se dan los bloqueos sin explicación o con ambiguedades...Son "juicios sumarísimos" sin posibilidad de alegaciones ni pliegos de descargo...]

"August 5, 2015 Red Hat on Wednesday announced the release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform 7. Platform 7's availability follows by three months the latest release of OpenStack. Key to its new features are improved deployment and management tools that simplify installation. The new feature set eases day-to-day management tasks, and establishes the underpinnings for orchestrated live system updates and subsequent release upgrades."

Daniel J Walsh "When I began this series of writing about Docker security on Opensource.com, I stated that "containers do not contain." One of the main goals at both Red Hat and at Docker is to make this statement less true. My team at Red Hat is continuing to try to take advantage of other security mechanisms to make containers more secure."

Larry Cafiero First, let me thank those who took the time to alert me last week to the agreement between Red Hat and Microsoft on holding hands in the cloud. All the concern shown in the emails and social media posts were completely welcome, and could be broken up into two basic sentiments: curiosity about my reaction and serving me some crow to eat.

"The push for new features in RHEL OpenStack Platform 7 centered around the need to simplify complicated installations. Many enterprise users found challenges around initial deployment, as well as ongoing daily operations.

"La Unión Europea se ha mostrado implacable a la hora de defender los intereses de consumidores y usuarios, siempre y cuando esto no perjudicara a empresas europeas, como por ejemplo con el derecho al olvido. Sin embargo cuando se trata de las ISP se ha mostrado mucho más blanda, dando pasos titubeantes hacia la neutralidad de la red."

[Todos los días la privacidad de los usuarios se reduce un poco más gracias a los embates que llevan adelante las compañías que manejan grandes cantidades de información y que requieren de la nuestra como para darnos un servicio a cambios. Google, Microsoft, Facebook, Oracle y bueno, casi todo el resto de la internet superficial toma algún rastro de los tantos que dejamos. Si eres de aquellos a los que esto les preocupa y mucho, una distribución Linux para el anonimato en la red es lo que andas buscando. Su nombre, Tails. ]
