Talking with Meena: Open HA Cluster - Whole Enchilada now Open-sourced
As of today, the third, final and largest code release for Open High Availability Cluster has been made available. This now means that all of the Open HA Cluster code is available as free software. This will allow developers and admins to access and build complete HA solutions built on source code from the OpenSolaris project.
Right before the launch I grabbed some time with Meenakshi Kaul-Basu, the engineering director at Sun responsible for Availability products, and whose group the Open HA Cluster falls under. Take a listen to Meenakshi's explanation of the event and her insight:

Some of the topics we tackle:
- The first phase of the open code release was the Cluster agent in June of last year. Phase two was in December and and was for the Geographic edition.
- This third release represents nearly two million lines of code (and this number doesn't include the test code).
- In addition to code it also comes with docs and internationalization functionality as well as the above mentioned automated testing.
- Open HA cluster is tightly integrated with built-in OpenSolaris features like ZFS technology.
- Integration of Open HA Cluster with free software apps like ,Apache Tomcat, MySQL, PostreSQL, Glassfish...
- Where can you get started? (Here)
- How to join the discussion (HA cluster forum)
BTW: for a bevy of engineering details, check out Oasis, the Sun Cluster group blog.

Linux Distro Smack Down - the Podcast
As promised, after individual presentations at last week's CommunityOne I brought together the community leaders of three of the top GNU/Linux distros (Zonker Brockmeier, OpenSUSE; Jono Bacon, Ubuntu; Karsten Wade, Fedora), threw in Glynn Foster of OpenSolaris and moderated a no-holds-barred panel. (It took them three hours to clean up the blood afterwards!!)
Although the panel itself wasn't recorded, immediately after it concluded, the five of us headed to the make-shift podcast studio we had set up at the event and recorded the following discussion. Listen at your peril!

No glasses? No facial hair? Get in the back.
Zonker Brockmeier, OpenSUSE; Jono Bacon, Ubuntu; Karsten Wade, Fedora; Glynn Foster (standing), OpenSolaris
Some of the topics we tackle:
- How the gentlemen balance the needs of the community with the needs of their corporate parent.
- Working with upstream providers. Is the heat Ubuntu gets on this subject justified? Karsten's mantra (Glynn, a former GNOME director, also offers a perspective from the upstream)
- Shout-outs to Debian
- Governance and how each of the distros handles it (the community/corporate split and who picks the members)
- In the last third of the podcast we head off in to the realm of the philosophical and address Free vs. Non-Free software, the "Vocal Minority," Richard Stallman, mini-Stallman's and all things holy.

Pics from CommunityOne & JavaOne
Here are a few pictures from earlier this week taken at CommunityOne and day one of JavaOne.
Podcasts a comin'
In the next few days I will also be posting a bunch of podcasts I did while in San Francisco including a bunch from key OpenSolaris folks, a post-Distro-smackdown recording, an interview with the Fedora IcedTea guys and a chat with the JRuby dudes.
Mr. Finch exits -- Before either event even began, the city was crawling with Java topped cabs.
CommunityOne and the Launch of OpenSolaris (this time for real)
Marten Mickos, Neelan Choksi and Ian Murdock hold forth on FOSS business models at RedMonkTwo.
C1 Speakers: Jono Bacon (Ubuntu), Zonker Brockmeier (OpenSUSE), Mako Hill (FSF), Karsten Wade (Fedora)
Sun Software EVP Rich Green and RedMonk pundit Steveo Grady talk seriously under the disco ball at the OpenSolaris launch party.
JavaOne - DayOne
The MySQL Community Crew attend their first JavaOne as Sun employees (and find that that means they don't get the free backpack). L-R: Jay Pipes, Giuseppe Maxia, Lenz Grimmer and Colin Charles.
The post-keynote deluge.
If you attend JavaOne you've gotta get your picture taken with Duke (there was a huge line).
