AMD has released the Open Source driver AMDGPU with support for Radeon R9 285.
Publishing the code of this driver, the company reaches out to Linux distributions’ users that have been demanding for a long time the possibility to use free drivers. The only found restriction is that Catalyst will be an additional and propietary component.
Desktop virtualization is still a booming technology and Open Source tools guarantee a stable and free of charge VDI deployment to manage virtual desktops.
So says an article in Red Hat Open Source Community blog, which highlights the project deployed by VirtualCable in the University of Seville, where they implemented a VDI solution for more than 3,000 students with the connection broker for Windows and Linux UDS Enterprise and oVirt.
Protocols Plugfest Europe 2015 will be held next May 12, 13 and 14 at Zaragoza (Spain). This conference will bring together experts from leading technology companies and Open Source projects so that they can share visions, experiences and technical knowledge to help advance the industry in its quest for interoperability.
This event reinforces the collaboration on interoperability and protocols between Open Source and non-Open Source companies and projects. The agenda includes technical and business insights from Microsoft, Red Hat, CENATIC, SerNet, Dell, Collabora, KDE, FSFE, RavenDB, Kolab Systems, LibreOffice, Igalia, BlueMind, Bitergia, Samba, OpenChange, Libelium, Griffin Brown Publishing, id law partners and Hibernating Rhinos.
GNU Hurd 0.6 is currently available, the kernel the Free Software Foundation and the GNU project want to become an alternative to Unix and Linux.
It is a collection of servers that run on the Mach microkernel to implement, among others, file systems, network protocols, file access control… that are implemented by the Unix kernel or similar kernels, such as Linux.
GNU Hurd runs on 32-bit x86 machines, but the developers working in this project say that a version running on 64-bit x8 (x86_64) machines is in progress.
The innovations of this new version include the cleaning of the code and progress in the integration with the microkernel GNU Match.
