As we mentioned in our blog, the code of the Spanish application to track Covid-19 positive contacts in RADAR COVID was released last week.
Its Finnish counterpart became Open Source a few weeks earlier, at the end of August. This app for tracking and monitoring Covid-19 cases is called Koronavilkku and has been published under the European Union Public Licence (EUPL-1.2), which allows its reuse.
Emilia Quereda Escoriza, Head of the Teaching Support Area – Information and Communication Technologies Service (ICT), University of Almería:
“Thanks to UDS Enterprise our students can access remotely the computers in the IT rooms where the licensed software is installed”
For the first time and due to the Covid-19 pandemic, Open Infrastructure Summit will be held virtually. This popular event, organized by OpenStack Foundation, will take place from October 19 to 23. Users, developers and suppliers from more than 50 countries and 600 companies that build and operate with open infrastructures will meet.
VMware has merged its two marketplaces into a single platform called VMware Marketplace. Until now, the solutions supported and verified by this manufacturer could be published, depending on their characteristics, in the VMware Solution Exchange or/and in the VMware Cloud Marketplace.
Thanks to its versatility, UDS Enterprise was present in both catalogs. Now, the connection broker for Windows and Linux desktop and application virtualization is included in the new VMware ecosystem.
Windows and macOS users willing to switch to Linux have a distribution at their fingertips that will make the switch a breeze: Zorin OS. It has been designed so that everyone can personalize their desktop to be as similar as possible to the one they use.
It is based on Ubuntu and on the same Open Source code used by the US Department of Defense and NASA, making it a solid and reliable system. It has advanced security features, is fast, and doesn’t slow down with updates. In addition, there is a Lite edition that promises to work quickly on computers up to 15 years old, so it can be a good option to give older computers a second chance.
