• Fedora Project ☛ Fedora Community Blog: Fedora Code of Conduct Report 2024

  The Fedora Project’s Code of Conduct and its reports are managed by the Fedora Code of Conduct Committee, the Fedora Community Architect, and the Fedora Project Leader. We publish this summary to demonstrate our commitment to community safety and our project’s social fabric.

  This post covers the year of reports received in the 2024 calendar year. The 2023 and 2024 annual report posts are published with delays due to changes in membership in the Code of Conduct Committee and rebalancing existing work. The purpose of publishing the reports now is to provide transparency, insight, and awareness into the health signs of the community.

• Red Hat ☛ How to plan your RHEL lifecycle with AI [Ed: IBM Red Hat trying to impose mindless and harmful slop on Red Hat users]

  Managing the lifecycle of an enterprise GNU/Linux fleet has traditionally been a game of spreadsheets, calendar alerts, and manual cross-referencing. You have to track which systems are nearing end of life (EOL), which ones qualify for extended update support (EUS), and how recent major releases like Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 10 will impact your specific package stack.

• Red Hat Official ☛ Running LLMs dynamically, in production, on limited resources, is hard. We think there’s room for another approach… [Ed: Slop, chatbots, plagiarism and misinformation peddled by IBM Red Hat]

  The promise of large language models (LLMs) is clear. From code generation to customer support, from document analysis to creative workflows, organizations everywhere are racing to integrate LLMs into their products and operations. The enterprise LLM market is projected to grow from $6 billion in 2025 to over $50 billion by 2035. But behind the excitement lies a practical challenge—serving LLMs in production can be expensive, inefficient, and operationally complex.

• Red Hat Official ☛ Automating the modern network: A Q1 network automation recap

  The momentum we've seen this past quarter highlights that Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform is the standard trusted execution layer for this transformation. Organizations are moving away from isolated team structures and high-risk manual changes, and instead embracing a unified Infrastructure as Code strategy to ensure that the network is an accelerator for the business and not a bottleneck.

• Red Hat ☛ Red Hat build of Perses with the cluster observability operator

• Supercomputing in Sync

  Fittingly, this early OS was called the clustered high availability operating system, or CHAOS. The development team did not need to start from scratch. Linux-based OSes—also known as distributions—had emerged in the HPC industry, and Livermore began working with Red Hat, a company offering enterprise-level Linux distributions to HPC centers. “CHAOS was built on top of the Red Hat distribution because we had hardware components and other needs that Red Hat didn’t yet support,” recalls Trent D’Hooge, Livermore Computing’s (LC’s) deputy division leader for operations. For example, commercial Linux distributions had not yet incorporated resource management software, which automatically allocates processors, memory, and storage for HPC workloads. CHAOS filled this gap with the Laboratory-developed Slurm (simple Linux utility for resource management) software.
