  • SourceCast: Episode 132: Buying a JEDI

    The Department of Defense has a cloud project named “Joint Enterprise Defense Infrastructure” or JEDI for short. Cloud providers like IBM, Google, and Microsoft all want a piece of this $10 BILLION DOLLAR pie, but Amazon seems poised to win much to Oracle’s disgust.

    As final proposals were expected to be submitted, Google dropped out and Microsoft employees are urging the company to do the same.  What is going on with JEDI?  Listen to find out.

      Linux inventor Linus Torvalds is stepping away from the system he created after reports surfaced that he was very difficult to work with.
