As I stated in my last blog, I am attending the premier Indian Open Source conference, FOSS.IN , in Bangalore. This conference had some very technical talks (which I will also blog about) but, like any other Open source conference, it was the people who... more

I have always been fascinated by clusters. Some people envision working with desktops or workstations when they think of “working with computers”. For me working with computers was always with a large collection of computers in a back room somewhere.... more

My overall impression was that OSCON was lower key than last year. There seemed to be fewer booths in the Exhibition floor and less palpable excitement in the venue. A lot of people were complaining about the quality of the tutorials and the talks. Or it may just be that this was my second time around attending OSCON and it didn’t have the same quality of excitement for me compared to the very first... more

I am writing this from the Big Apple. The Linuxworld Open Solutions Summit is in New York and running from February 13th through February 15th. I questioned the wisdom of holding a conference in February on the East coast rather than the milder shores of the West Coast - since I arrived the middle of a snowstorm after a day's delay caused by flight cancellations. But once I got here the bright... more

I am an avid reader of Joel On Software – I find his insights great and very revealing. I was reading a recent blog post by Joel entitled “The Big Picture” in which he has this to say about open source: “Open source doesn’t quite work like that. It’s really good at implementing copycat features, because there’s a spec to work from: the implementation you’re copying. It’s really good at Itch Scratching... more

One of the great things about my job at the Open Source Software Lab (OSSL) here at Microsoft (besides being able to work with both Linux and Windows!) is that I get to go computer science research conferences. I try not to attend the purely academic ones, but the ones in which both industry and academic research issues are addressed. I just got back from ISSRE (pronounced “is-ree”) i.e. the 17th... more
