[OSBC] Keynotes galore
OSBC started this morning in San Francisco and I'm using the 2 hr midday break to blog a quick post. The conference kicked off with a welcome address from Matt. He mentioned the news of Oracle buying Sleepycat.
After which, Jonathan Schwarz did the first keynote. He used the talk about community contribution to announce OpenSparc.net. Sun's initiative to Open Source a chip, basically allowing you to fabricate your own. Microsoft's Bill Hilf then took the stage and talked about "coopetition". Microsoft is working with companies like JBoss and SugarCRM to ensure they work well on the Windows platform.
Last keynote was Nicholas Carr comparing the utility revolution in electricity supply with the pending revolution in IT.
