The Problem It’s getting worse. Every day. The global emissions of carbon dioxide are still increasing , while our global budget to stay in the range of 1.5° C and 2° C is rapidly exhausting. The main emissions are produced by burning fossil fuels for energy generation, transportation and industrial production. Another big source of […]
After discussing the theoretical background why patterns are useful in common IT-architectures in our first post and discussing the various levels of utilizing patterns in section two, we will now dive a little deeper and look how a pattern can be applied for a practical business problem. Requirements Let us assume we have an application […]
OpenSourcerers 2023 is a wrap! It was packed with interesting articles covering a wide range of topics. There are 52 articles available covering high level topics down to the dirty technical details of using Red Hat’s products and other OpenSource technologies. Your Opensourcerers blog editors followed along of course! As we come from varying backgrounds […]
ˈpætɚns Image source https://vecteezy.com/ Recap In the first article, we discussed the need for patterns as an architectural paradigm, in order to achieve re-usability across complex environments such as Hybrid Cloud scenarios. We identified the benefits of a pattern based approach. We talked about automation, Hybrid Cloud, and about organizational aspects We’ve learned that patterns […]
ˈpætɚns Probably almost every time we are starting to understand and to solve a general problem, we will ask ourselves, am I the first one who is facing that problem, or have there been others who in the end either failed or succeeded. This is particularly true, if I am highly uncertain whether my own […]
Introduction In my previous post on Open Source and Quantum Computing Quantum Computing: Open Source from the Start we learned about Quantum Computing in general and how Open Source is used to provide access to this new computing paradigm. This post will now focus on how to get started and provide a very easy guide […]
This blog post will discuss why Quantum Computing is a natural step to evolve our computing capabilities. I will give a short overview of the core principles and differences to classical computing and how anyone with interest is able to access quantum computers — using Open Source software. Why do we care about quantum computing? […]
An interview with my colleagues Marcel Hild and Robert Bohne on new ways to apply Open Source principles to operating software. Ingo: Hello Robert, hello Marcel! Nice to have you here! And today we have an interesting topic “operate first” and I’m very curious what that really means. So, Marcel and Robert, please introduce […]
An Interview with Leslie Hawthorn, Open Source Program Office, Red Hat How does Open Source innovation work in vertical industry communities? To explore the inroads of Open Source Software in vertical industry use cases and applications I have invited a real expert in this field: Leslie Hawthorn, responsible for vertical community strategy in Red Hat’s […]
How it started – How it’s going… When Open Source (or better: free software) started in the 1980ies, it was a movement to gain back control over devices and computers. In the early days, computers had been sold and the software was coming with it, source code included, so everyone could explore it. But when […]
