OpenSource World/NGDC/CloudWorld
I’ve been watching, and involved with, LinuxWorld Expo since the very early days. As with other operating system focused conferences in the past, the conference has had its glory days and then faced a declining interest from sponsors and attendees. IDG World Expo, the host of LinuxWorld and other conferences, has tacked on the next generation data center conference (NGDC) and CloudWorld. It also changed the name of LinuxWorld to OpenSource World in the hopes of broadening the audience.
Why is that? It is clear to me that LinuxWorld has followed the same arc as other operating system focused events. I recall UNIX focused events evolving into open systems events and then moving on. I recall similar client/server events that ran their cycle as well. The requirements of the audience has changed as the understanding of and use of Linux changed.
At this point in time, Linux has become part of the data center club. It can be found in organizations of all sizes, in all geographical areas and supporting nearly all workloads.

Samsung, Red Hat to Work on Linux Drivers for Future TechThe metaverse is expected to uproot system design as we know it, and Samsung is one of many hardware vendors re-imagining data center infrastructure in preparation for a parallel 3D world. Samsung is working on new memory technologies that provide faster bandwidth inside hardware for data to travel between CPUs, storage and other computing resources. The company also announced it was partnering with Red Hat to ensure these technologies have Linux compatibility. |
