As the consumption of open source technologies is skyrocketing, one of the biggest yet most underrated challenges are licence companies. Organizations often use a mix of open source technologies that are released under different open source licences. Sometimes these licences are compatible with each other and sometimes not. Additionally, lack of adherence to the licence may lead to legal actions. No one wants to be at the receiving end of the SFC (Software Freedom Conservancy) or the SFLC (Software Freedom Law Center).

Philippe Ombrédanne, co-founder and CTO of nexB, has dedicated his life to helping organizations to reuse free/libre and open source software, without worrying about licenses. He has been a prolific contributor to many open source projects including Eclipse and Java, but now he has evolved his role within the Open Source community.

On this episode of The New Stack Makers, TNS Founder Alex Williams sat down with Nicole Huesman, Intel Senior Global Marketing Manager & Open Source Advocate to discuss the company's thoughts and process on centring diversity, and explores their efforts with the OpenStack Project, Bitergia, and Project Chaos to bring about better practices and pipelines surrounding gender identity, gender diversity, and inclusivity.

Throughout the conversation, Huesman noted that Intel has been working with Bitergia on gender diversity research, but went on to explain that for Intel, this is just the tip of the iceberg. “We took a look at as a member of the community [and asked] how can we work, what part can we play in building inclusive diversity and inclusion across communities?”

Huesman also highlighted that while at Open Source Leadership Summit this March, Intel has also been working alongside the Linux Foundation on the CHAOSS Project, tools designed to measure the health of communities with open source projects.

"The complexities are a given. That can sum up Kubernetes. It's going to take time to unfold. And here's why in this episode of The New Stack Makers that TNS Founder Alex Williams recorded with Kelsey Hightower and Liz Rice, co-chairs of this year's KubeCon + CloudNativeCon in Copenhagen this coming May 2-4.

The cloud native market is driven by the Kubernetes distributions that application architectures require. Each infrastructure has its own Kubernetes distribution. The hardware architectures that the cloud services use then dictates how Kubernetes integrates. It's a matter of conformance that just takes time to resolve.

Kubernetes does run on multiple cloud service providers but there is no universal version that acts as a separate control plane for all cloud services. And that is why the APIs will increasingly matter with service arhitectures both in the control planes and in the application integrations.

The context of the market is in the schedule, the agenda and the speakers participating in KubeCon + CloudNativeCon. The drive is for understanding the pieces that can make continuous development processes possible with tools like Spinnaker and a new generation of serverless architectures that have a corollary and architectural connection to containers but even more as an abstraction than ever before."

Isaac Mosquera, CTO & co-founder at Armory.io sat down to talk testing mircorservices in production with The New Stack San Francisco Correspondent TC Currie as part of The New Stack’s series on Microservices.  

Within Armory platform platform is a product called Canary which is one tool to help test microservices in production.  The name comes from the traditional  miners’ practice of taking a canary with them into coal mines.  When mined, coal can release an odorless toxic gas that would kill miners where they stood.  The canary became an early warning system.  If the canary died, the miners booked it out of there.  

Similarly, Canary, launches a small bit of code into production to see how it effects the system as a whole, and discover is this element introducing a lot more risk into the production environment. “That’s a lot cheaper way to do it than set up manual QA testing to assess the risk,” Mosquera said.
