Collaborative Project OpenDaylight Announced to Advance Software-Defined Networking
The Linux Foundation has announced a new Collaborative Project, OpenDaylight, a community-led and industry-supported open source framework that will accelerate adoption, foster new innovation and create a more open and transparent approach to Software-Defined Networking (SDN).
Arista Networks, Big Switch Networks, Brocade, Cisco, Citrix, Dell, Ericsson, Fujitsu, HP, IBM, Intel, Juniper Networks, Microsoft, NEC, Nuage Networks, PLUMgrid, Red Hat and VMware are the founding members and will dedicate engineering resources to accelerate innovation and speed customer adoption of SDN.

The Linux Foundation in April announced that Xen is becoming a Linux Foundation Collaborative Project.
The Xen Project is an open source virtualization platform licensed under the GPLv2 with a similar governance structure to the Linux kernel. Designed from the start for cloud computing, the project has more than a decade of development and more than 10 million users. As the project experiences contributions from an increasingly diverse group of companies, it is looking to The Linux Foundation to be a neutral forum for providing guidance and facilitating a collaborative network.
The following companies will contribute to and guide the Xen Project as founding members of the Collaborative Project at The Linux Foundation: Amazon Web Services, AMD, Bromium, Calxeda, CA Technologies, Cisco, Citrix, Google, Intel, Oracle, Samsung and Verizon.
The Xen Project also celebrated its 10-year birthday in April at The Linux Foundation Collaboration Summit. Watch a short video of its celebration party.
For more information about Xen becoming a Linux Foundation Collaborative Project, please Read the full announcement, or read Jim Zemlin's blog post about the news.
We are pleased to announce The Linux Foundation is funding three Linux kernel internships through the Outreach Program for Women administered by the GNOME Foundation. These internships have a $5,000 stipend and come with a $500 travel grant to attend and speak at LinuxCon this fall. This is a great opportunity to work with a mentor and get started with kernel development, which as many articles report, is a great way to land a high-paying job.
The official deadline to apply to OPW is May 1st. However, the kernel project joined late, so that deadline is flexible. Please fill out your initial application and then update by May 17th with your initial patch. Applicants will be notified by May 27th if they have been accepted.

Linux Foundation Executive Director Jim Zemlin was recently invited to speak at TEDx about what the technology industry has learned from Linux, and specifically its creator Linus Torvalds, and how some of those lessons can be applied to a variety of efforts and projects across geographies and disciplines.
In true Zemlin style, the lessons seemed a little surprising at first but as he elaborates in this video, it becomes easy to understand how Linux has become the largest shared technology resource known to man.
The Linux Foundation recently announced the findings of its 2013 Enterprise End User Report, “Linux Adoption: Third Annual Survey of World’s Largest Enterprise Linux Users.” The study, conducted in partnership with Yeoman Technology Group, tracks the growth of Linux use in large enterprises and identifies key trends that inform Linux operating system priorities.
Key findings from this year’s report show the world’s largest enterprises are increasing their investments in Linux for the third consecutive year. Industry reports for the most recent quarter (4Q12) show that while overall server revenue is only growing at 3.1 percent year-over-year; Linux experienced 12.7 percent year-over-year growth for the quarter while Windows only increased 3.2 percent and UNIX was down 24.1 percent.
The Enterprise End User Report helps to inform the industry about what is driving this adoption and how market growth is shaping up for the future. Download the Report.
The annual Enterprise End User Summit takes place May 14-15, 2013 in New York at the New York Stock Exchange. Keynote speakers and the complete schedule have recently been made public. Highlights include:
