Sun Microsystems' Next Linux Move (Seeking Alpha)

When Sun Microsystems (JAVA) acquired MySQL for $1 billion, it instantly gave Sun credibility in the open source market. But Sun isn't stopping there. In recent weeks, Sun has quietly increased its bets on the fastest growing version of Linux in the market. And it isn't from Red Hat or Novell. Rather, Sun is preparing to certify more of its servers for Canonical's Ubuntu Linux. The effort includes Sun's latest small and midsize business servers. In an interview with Reuters on April 2, Canonical CEO Mark Shuttleworth reinforced the growing relations between Sun and Ubuntu.

Q&A: Sun exec ponders OpenSolaris, Linux (ComputerWorld)

What do you do at Sun? I see the OpenSolaris project seems to fall onto your plate. Initially, I was working on OpenSolaris and started Project Indiana, which culminated this week [with] the first version of the OpenSolaris binary distribution. These days, I am running the developer and community marketing organization, so I am responsible for marketing Sun's developer tools, the developer programs like Sun Developer Network and Tech Days Events, our open-source projects and communities. [Also, I do marketing for] StarOffice, OpenOffice, Network.com. So basically anything that relates to the developer community in some way, I run the marketing piece of that.

Wal-Mart Nixes Linux; How Tech Busted Spitzer; We're Spammed

Here’s one for Linux-loving conspiracy theorists: Wal-Mart will stop selling PCs running the Linux operating system in its stores. The retailer started selling Linux PCs last fall, prompting this blog to write that if the PCs proved popular with consumers, businesses might start running the operating system on the PCs that workers use. (While businesses regularly run Linux on servers, the back-office computers that process data, hardly any run Linux on PCs.) Wal-Mart is ditching Linux in stores even though it sold out of the machines, which will doubtless feed the theories of a vocal crowd of Linux fanatics who’re convinced that The Man is conspiring to kill Linux. It’s more likely culprit is Mr. Market: Wal-Mart says that the computers weren’t what its customer were looking for, but that it will continue selling Linux PCs on its Web sit

Linux Foundation Collaboration Summit Leaves Desktop Linux Behind

Linux.com's Joe Barr has an interesting commentary about the recent Linux Foundation Collaboration Summit and the astounding lack of attention for desktop Linux. Now, a great deal of the monetary support driving Linux these days comes from companies with a vested interest in "big iron" but hopefully this won't completely eclipse the rest of the community. "Before I learned that the press was not welcome in any of the working-meetings at the summit on days 2 and 3, I saw and heard rumblings of discontent from more than one ordinary Linux desktop user. One example: a top-ten list of inhibitors to Linux adoption, created by a committee of foundation members, contained nothing at all relating to desktop usage. Nothing. Everything on the list was about back-room usage.

Mickos, As New Sun Exec: Linux Will Stay In LAMP (InformationWeek)

As soon as former MySQL CEO Marten Mickos, now a Sun Microsystems senior VP for databases, took the stage, he was asked what was Sun's commitment to the L in LAMP?... the integrated open source stack that includes Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP. "The commitment is complete," he responded without hesitation. The scene was The Commons Auditorium at the Austin branch of the University of Texas. It was the site of one historic commitment to Linux --IBM (NYSE: IBM)'s decision in 1999 to become a backer, not an opponent, of the open source operating system.

Open Sourced Sun SPOTS Puts Everything in Developers' Hands

Like so much else of Sun's product line, the company is open sourcing the hardware and operating system for its Sun Small Programmable Object Technology (Sun SPOT). In an interview with Arshan Poursohi, staff researcher at the Sun SPOT lab, Mary Grush of Campus Technology explores some of the implications of this further opening of Sun technology. Sun SPOT is a sensor networking product based on Java technology. Grush was particularly interested in how higher education institutions can incorporate Sun SPOTs in research and instruction.

Schwartz Comments On NSA/Sun OpenSolaris Collaboration

sean_nestor writes to mention that Sun CEO Jonathan Schwartz took a bit of time recently to comment on last week's announcement that Sun Microsystems would be partnering closely with the NSA for security research surrounding OpenSolaris. Rather than the typical loads of legalese and confidentiality agreements Sun and the NSA are claiming that this move is more about the NSA joining the OpenSolaris community than anything else. I guess only time will tell.
