Eclipse OHF, Health Care and Open Source
Just in time for Linux World Expo IBM came out with a press release
about IBM's involvment in the Open Source - Eclipse open Healthcare
Platform (OHF). Thanks to Eishay Smith for the info!

Containers and Virtualization
The sourceforge list for containers (lxc) is being shut down since
sourceforge mailing lists are being soooo slow. The list list is at
OSDL - containers@lists.osdl.org. People working on openvz and vserver
(with the goal of getting a common solution into the mainline linux
kernel) will get postings sent to this list as well since the plan is
currently to subscribe the existing openvz and vserver mailing lists
to this list
To subscribe, please visit:
https://lists.osdl.org/mailman/listinfo/containers
The end result of this discussion and relevent patches should be a
single infrastructure in the mainline kernel that is fast, reasonably
complete, and allows any other solutions to be wholly contained within
the kernel or enabled through user level applications on top of the
base kernel support. Today, all major groups are consolidating here
with some healthy debates about the details of implementation. No
outlook yet on completion but all groups are motivated to generated
patches as fast as possible.

Open Source and Health Care
Another activity I've been involved in lately is looking at Open
Source utilization in the Health Care field. I have a lot of reasons
why I think this is very interesting, which I'll try to share sometime
in the future. However, for those that may be interested, I'm in San
Francisco this week at Linux World Expo and participating on a panel
at their Health Care Day. I should have lots more information to share
about where Open Source and Health Care are headed after that event as
well. Feel free to look me up if you are in San Francisco!

Virtualization
Here's one of the more accurate articles I've seen on the current
state of Linux and Hypervisors.
I spent some quality time with Simon Crosby (XenSource) and previously
with Jack Lo (VMware) as everyone was working to find a good solution
to getting Linux to directly run on a virtualized platform. Of all the
news articles on this that I've seen so far, this is definitely the
most accurate.
On a similar note, whether or not Xen is ready for prime time, we at
IBM have done a lot of testing in support of Novell's inclusion of Xen
and believe that it is ready for Enterprises to begin testing and
evaluating for use in Enterprises. It is still relatively young in
capabilities compared to System p and System z virtualization
