Fedora and IBM/Red Hat Leftovers

  • Daniel Pocock: Withdrawing my nomination for Fedora Council

    First of all, my email nominating myself on the Fedora Council list was delayed for approximately 14 hours.

    [...]

    This strikes me as a strong hint that I'm an independent candidate who is not afraid to ask the important questions. If I was to suggest the election was about to be rigged then I would risk looking like the world's biggest clown but nonetheless, messages delayed like that makes it feel like the playing field is not quite level. It is an all-too-familiar feeling in the free software world. This was an important revelation about transparency achieved without even getting to a vote.

    Secondly, there has been increased attention on the difference between real harassment as opposed to the counter-accusations that appear all too frequently from leaders covering up their own rogue behavior. Harvey Weinstein's lawyer publicly blamed his victims and the outgoing US president claimed to be a victim of lynching. Leaders of certain free software organizations cry the same crocodile tears. Let us remember the original words chosen by young women coming into our environment are the only genuine examples of harassment. With or without a vote, I remain committed to allocating a share of my time to courageous volunteers like this. Their willingness to speak up gives me hope that the leaders of tomorrow may be better than the office holders of yesterday.

    The ultimate achievement of my short campaign is to depart gracefully. I couldn't think of a better time to do so. This is what leadership looks like. Either you understand that or you don't.

  • Exploring OpenShift Source-to-Image using Git webhooks | Enable Sysadmin

    OpenShift is an enterprise application platform based on the Kubernetes orchestration tool. It can deploy applications from a number of sources, including prebuilt images as well as from source. In this article, I will talk about Source-to-Image (S2I) and how to automate the entire process using Git webhooks. You can follow along and try it out yourself for free at the OpenShift Interactive Learning Portal.

  • Call for Code Spot Challenge for Wildfires

    Nearly 3 billion animals were affected by Australia’s worst wildfire season that burned from July 2019 through March 2020 estimates Chris Dickman, a professor of ecology at the University of Sydney. We’re asking you to join data scientists to develop models focused on forecasting wildfires in Australia for the upcoming wildfire season, and enter the chance to win $5K USD. To get you started we’re releasing historical data sets extracted from the Weather Operations Center Geospatial Analytics component (PAIRS Geoscope)

  • From chemistry to coding: Changing careers to become a software developer

    Some people say that it doesn’t matter how you start, what matters is how you finish! And no truer words have been spoken, especially with regards to your career and professional life. Last year I graduated from college with a Bachelor of Science in Chemistry. Less than a year later I became a Systems Back End Software Engineer at IBM without a formal computer science degree. And today, I work at the Transaction Processing Facility in Poughkeepsie, where I develop and modernize an operations server console that handles transactions for several major credit card, hotels and airline companies. Most of my work is on the Java console for the z/TPF operating system. I also help process the linux build and package along with shipping code. (Note: According to the 2020 Stack Overflow developer survey, 4.4% of professional developers have a background in natural sciences.)

    My journey to becoming a software developer began when I took my first computer science class as a senior in college. After that one class I realized that being a developer was my true passion! But with a degree in an unrelated discipline I didn’t know how I could make the leap to becoming a professional developer. So, immediately after graduation, I completed an immersive software engineering boot camp at Flatiron School. While at that boot camp, I independently built scalable full-stack applications such as Facebook and Trello clones. I decided to attend a coding boot camp because I thought it would push me to learn as much as possible in the shortest period of time. After completing the boot camp, I applied for jobs and quickly accepted a position at IBM.

  • Automated golf highlights in a fanless environment

    Automating the creation of these videos dramatically reduced the time and effort required to produce this content. Quickly producing this content gave the Masters editorial team first mover advantage, coverage breadth across the entire field, and freed up critical video editing cycles to be used elsewhere.

    This automated system ingested video from every shot on every hole. The workflow that created the input content later went on to win the George Wensel Technical Achievement Emmy Award as well as many other accolades. As this content was ingested, it was evaluated for “highlight-worthiness” using a metric referred to internally by IBM as “excitement.” The excitement metrics were derived using artificial intelligence (AI) analysis of the content. These metrics were further enhanced by using IBM Watson® OpenScale to remove bias from the ranking. These excitement metrics, coupled with storytelling business rules, were used to select which golf scenes to include. These selections were then used to create a fully produced highlight video with broadcast interstitials and automated TV graphics minutes after the player completed their round. The work for the 2019 Masters was described in this IBM Developer blog.

  • How to install go1.19beta on Ubuntu 22.04 – NextGenTips

    In this tutorial, we are going to explore how to install go on Ubuntu 22.04 Golang is an open-source programming language that is easy to learn and use. It is built-in concurrency and has a robust standard library. It is reliable, builds fast, and efficient software that scales fast. Its concurrency mechanisms make it easy to write programs that get the most out of multicore and networked machines, while its novel-type systems enable flexible and modular program constructions. Go compiles quickly to machine code and has the convenience of garbage collection and the power of run-time reflection. In this guide, we are going to learn how to install golang 1.19beta on Ubuntu 22.04. Go 1.19beta1 is not yet released. There is so much work in progress with all the documentation.

  • How To Install MongoDB on AlmaLinux 9 - idroot

    In this tutorial, we will show you how to install MongoDB on AlmaLinux 9. For those of you who didn’t know, MongoDB is a high-performance, highly scalable document-oriented NoSQL database. Unlike in SQL databases where data is stored in rows and columns inside tables, in MongoDB, data is structured in JSON-like format inside records which are referred to as documents. The open-source attribute of MongoDB as a database software makes it an ideal candidate for almost any database-related project. This article assumes you have at least basic knowledge of Linux, know how to use the shell, and most importantly, you host your site on your own VPS. The installation is quite simple and assumes you are running in the root account, if not you may need to add ‘sudo‘ to the commands to get root privileges. I will show you the step-by-step installation of the MongoDB NoSQL database on AlmaLinux 9. You can follow the same instructions for CentOS and Rocky Linux.

  • Self-host a Ghost Blog With Traefik

    Ghost is a very popular open-source content management system. Started as an alternative to WordPress and it went on to become an alternative to Substack by focusing on membership and newsletter. The creators of Ghost offer managed Pro hosting but it may not fit everyone's budget. Alternatively, you can self-host it on your own cloud servers. On Linux handbook, we already have a guide on deploying Ghost with Docker in a reverse proxy setup. Instead of Ngnix reverse proxy, you can also use another software called Traefik with Docker. It is a popular open-source cloud-native application proxy, API Gateway, Edge-router, and more. I use Traefik to secure my websites using an SSL certificate obtained from Let's Encrypt. Once deployed, Traefik can automatically manage your certificates and their renewals. In this tutorial, I'll share the necessary steps for deploying a Ghost blog with Docker and Traefik.
