Shameless Analyst Report Plug: “IBM & Linux – 9 Years Later”
A colleague sent me a link to this analyst paper today that takes a look at whether IBM has made good on the Linux promises it made back in 1999. I’m obviously biased, but I’m interested in hearing if anyone has thoughts on this topic.
Here’s the report: ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/linux/pdfs/GCG_IBM_and_Linux-9_years_later.pdf
The opening teaser:
In 1999, IBM issued a series of announcements fully committing the company to supporting Linux. IBM vowed to Linux-enable all of their hardware platforms, including their non-x86 based mainframe, mini, and RISC-based systems. They also promised to release Linux versions of their software products and develop
Linux-centric service practices. Moreover, they pledged significant resources to the Linux community with the goal of advancing Linux and open source technology.So, nine years later, did IBM deliver on these promises? Was their commitment to Linux genuine or just lip service? This report examines IBM’s current Linux products, services, and community support in light of the promises they made in 1999…
While I think it’s obvious IBM has been a huge investor in the Linux community, one thing that I noticed reading the report is just how much IBM is actually different from other community members. There are some noticeable differences in the investments and approach to supporting the Linux platform and community. I often forget to just take in all the Linux technologies IBM has been heavily involved in from Xen, KVM and libvirt to filesystems, to systemtap, kprobes and then there’s RAS, scalability and performance enhancements.
Another interesting thought to reflect on is just how important it has been that there are multiple investors in this field. If this report captures just what IBM did, think of the industry combined. IBM couldn’t have done anything this big with Linux if it weren’t for co-creating with a community of enthusiasts, researchers, governments, Intel, AMD, Google, Nokia, Motorola, Oracle and thousands more. What would the report look like if you compiled all the investments and work the entire community leveraged across the industry. Linux is “bigger than huge” when you stop to think about it. This is also why I’ve said for a couple years now when you extend the investment model 3 to 5 years into the future, Sun and its anti-Linux, Solaris push against the tide of the industry loses in the end. I think we’re starting to witness that now. Sure, OpenSolaris is a great idea… it’s just 9 years late and it’s too late to matter now.
I’m interested in outside perspectives too - where do you think IBM stands? Has the community development and investment model worked? Where will this lead in the future and what will be the next evolution of the model? Red Hat seems to think the model will evolve to include increased customer co-creation - I tend to agree. Why? Because the incentive model to invest aligns very well - and when you have alignment, it almost naturally will happen.

Who really writes “Linux”? A special report from the Linux Foundation
Steven posted a good eWeek article summarizing the recent Linux Foundation report on who writes and contributes to the Linux kernel development. Too many have written blogs with titles like “who writes Linux” that I had to put “Linux” in quotes in my title. The reason is that this document/report is about the Linux kernel and there are many things that people commonly associate with “Linux” that are outside the kernel. Think of Gnome which is written by the Gnome community, KDE which is sponsored by Trolltech, package management tools from Red Hat, Debian or Novell (e.g. YaST, Apt Yum), a multitude of libraries, and even OpenOffice which is still controlled by Sun, but now with contributions from IBM.
So I would agree this report is fantastic - it provides a view into what’s going on beyond what we “think” happens. The Linux kernel community is a great success story in what Amanda calls “mass community collaboration” - even more ironic because there are many competitors, vendors, academics, hobbyists, customers and other random experts collaborating in one place.
Read the report (it’s “free as in beer”) and find out everything you wanted to know about Linux kernel development (including perhaps that IBM is the #3 contributor to the kernel). The story this report tells is a truly unique feature of the Linux community. You won’t see it anywhere in the communities or practices of other OSs, no matter how “open” they proclaim to have become.
The report is interesting in how it also debunks some myths that somehow get spread around. For instance, some have said “kernel development will slow down as the features catch up to UNIX/Windows”. Not true.
Some have said “Linux is just IBM” or “Linux is just Red Hat” trying to position Linux as dominated or caused by one entity that they’re not fond of. Again, not true (see the section of the report on Contributors).
Finally, take a look at how some end user companies are participating and reaping the benefits of a true collaborative development community. Did you know your next VW will be powered by Linux? Did you ever think the same features that make an auto’s systems “crash-proof” could also help on a server or mobile phone? The VW bullet is a pure example of innovation being applied to adjacent spaces - it would never happen in Windows, AIX or Solaris.
- Companies like Sony, Nokia, and Samsung ship Linux as a component of products like video cameras, television sets, and mobile telephones. Working with the development process helps these companies ensure that Linux will continue to be a solid base for their products in the future.
- Companies which are not in the information technology business can still find working with Linux beneficial. The 2.6.25 kernel will include an implementation of the PF_CAN network protocol which was contributed by Volkswagen. PF_CAN allows for reliable communications between components in an interference-prone environment – such as that found in an automobile. Linux gave Volkswagen a platform upon which it could build its networking code; the company then found it worthwhile to contribute the code back so that it could be maintained with the rest of the kernel. http://lwn.net/Articles/253425/ for more information on this work.
So with that I will end my praises and simply point you to the source over at the LF website here.

Ohio LinuxFest 2007 was a LinuxSuccess
The crew organizing Ohio LinuxFest in their spare time… must be glad to have their spare time back this week! What a show, and what an effort by the regional Ohio LUGs that put on this event.
It’s been a few years since I last attended and at that time, I don’t believe I even registered - I just popped in, went to a few talks and left. But at that time there were maybe a couple hundred people there. I heard estimates that over 1,000 were in attendance although that figure seemed to underestimate the full number of people there. A couple of the speaker hall sessions were absolutely packed (and they were big halls). Ohio LinuxFest gives LinuxWorld a pretty big challenge. It was great to see all the regional corporate supporters but I was a bit surprised by all the “big IT” vendors with booths. There were sponsors from Google, IBM, HP, Novell, Red Hat, Fedora, Ubuntu, Vyatta and even Sun (although they seemed to be using Linux to try getting visitors to listen to their Solaris story).
Some of the sessions were fantastic, others less so but on the whole, it was an outstanding lineup of speakers. “Maddog” was a speaker and did a great talk on computing off the grid. Grega… wow, what energy for usability. Somehow I ended up being an impromptu speaker at an “IBM Virtualization” session. I was followed by Alena from IBM who did a great job covering the details on how NationWide uses Linux on an IBM System z mainframe with z/VM for their mission critical web based systems. Alena had a last minute “laptop issue” (ahem… Windows) but we were able to copy her presentation onto an USB key and present from my Linux laptop (Linux saves the day… again).
The special prize for those who made it was the untold number of great ideas, best practices, and partnering or finding others in similar situations that these networking events create. I actually met someone with a similar background who went to law school and passed the bar, he moved to D.C. as an attorney and he’s now managing IT systems for the federal court systems. He was looking to start consolidating some of the applications they run in every court onto a central system (mainframe most likely).
Anyway, here’s an obligatory picture from the show (apologies for not having my good camera with me). I encourage anyone who will be near Columbus next year to check this event out - it was a great show, a great place to meet others working in the Linux/FLOSS arena, and overall a great time. And somehow this whole event is put on by volunteers - truly amazing.
Note the body density in this picture - this place was packed.

Ubuntu Scores a Big Win at University of Delhi in India - 5,000 desktops going Linux
Great win for the Ubuntu guys at Canonical.
Chris Kenyon, director of business development at Canonical, casually mentioned that the University of Delhi in India is partnering with Hewlett-Packard to deploy Ubuntu on as many as 5,000 desktops.
I think they’re also quite smart about keeping these quiet :-)
Canonical has several deals like this brewing but is keeping them quiet, according to one source. The reason: Canonical doesn’t want customer wins to attract 11th-hour counter bids from Microsoft, which has been know to offer low-ball pricing when customers are considering open source.

Oracle 11g for Linux is Here
Saw this today: http://www.oracle.com/features/hp/oracle-database-11g.html
Ok, I added the “for Linux” b/c I’m sure they still support all the usual platforms. I actually saw this today and thought… hmmm… what will happen to all those 10g (or pre-10g) Solaris, HPUX and Windows systems when those customers go to upgrade? Solaris and SPARC are on their way out, Windows = Microsoft and Oracle hates that, and HPUX is on a rotting Itanium vine and many users wouldn’t dare go there… I suspect with Oracle going to Linux as its primary OS of choice (RHEL based) we’ll probably see yet another round of thousands of systems moving onto Linux.

Tip of the day: Itanium is not “industry standard”
Sorry, but I get frustrated by lack of attention to details… this isn’t even a detail - it’s a huge mistake to say Itanium is “industry standard”. Sure, Intel and x86 are commonly referred to as “industry standard” architectures b/c the x86 architecture is pretty much a standard (and there’s choice - AMD). x86, however, is an instruction set architecture and everything Intel makes is not an industry standard…
Itanium originally was supposed to support x86 instructions, but that feature fell off with all the other Itanium planned features that never made it to market. So now, Itanium only allows the use of the EPIC (Explicitly Parallel Instruction Computing) instruction set and guess what - it’s not even close to x86 and so applications need rewritten, recompiled, etc (and it’s not simple).
So please, do not refer to Itanium as “industry standard” - it makes no sense, and to those who know, you’ll appear foolish.
BTW, Itanium is not selling well either… you could say this “industry standard” is not so standard simply on volumes… forecasts missed actuals by a margin…

HP continues at the all-you-can-eat Solaris buffet
HP made some announcements around making it easier to assess the savings from migrating workloads from Solaris to HP’s Integrity platform (that’s the Itanic platform)… I’ll bet they migrated 95% of those Solaris systems to x86… not Itanic…
What caught my eye was HP seems to have been at the Solaris migration buffet as long as IBM.
For example, Van der Zweep said that HP has migrated $1 billion of infrastructure from Sun to HP infrastructure since 2004.
$1 billion is a hefty sum of revenue…

CA Plugs the Mainframe: 10 Reasons Why the Mainframe is Growing in Importance
http://ca.com/us/news/article.aspx?cid=144435
I would actually add that IBM is not the only mainframe server maker - in fact Sun recently launched a line it wants to have considered in the mainframe category (unfortunately it doesn’t run Linux…). Fujitsu, HP, and many others are all battling in this market and guess what, mainframe usage is actually growing… Linux is a great platform for these workloads - it’s easily portable from x86 to RISC to mainframe.
The mainframe has come a long way since the 1980s, when it was cloistered away in some data center enclave. It’s now a fully-connected resource within the distributed, web-enabled enterprise, where it carries an ever-growing burden of business-critical processing tasks. The IBM System z9 mainframe’s new hardware and operating system technologies, complemented by innovative, ISV management solutions, further boost its capabilities and performance to meet the continuously evolving demands of today’s IT-centric businesses.
Here are 10 reasons why the mainframe is growing in importance:

Bill Hilf… misquoted or misinformed?
I saw this article today and have to wonder if Bill is either misquoted or just severely misinformed…
The Free Software movement is dead,” Hilf said, in a typical quip, as quoted in “The Bangkok Post.” “Linux doesn’t exist in 2007. Even [Linux creator] Linus [Torvalds] has a job today.”
I’m curious if he was just misquoted, but that does happen. Obviously that was a terribly poor judgment as the free software movement is most certainly alive and well, and there are more people working on Linux than just IBM, Oracle, and Canonical. Bill, take a look at who really contributed to the 2.6.20 kernel Bill - there are many contributors (nearly 2,000 had code accepted just into the 2.6.20 kernel). The free software ecosystem is actually growing further - and many of the participants are Microsoft’s own long time partners. And yes, many of them do make a living (it’s hard to code Linux kernel code while wandering and asking for money on the streets). That is actually Microsoft’s real problem - these guys (and gals) are making a living - it’s an economically self-sustaining model. Sure, they are not making $92M/day like others, but they make a living and enjoy what they do.
Maybe that’s what has Microsoft so afraid that they’re reverting to their usual tricks (e.g. not competing on technology). After all, there used to be a huge force of Wintel+Dell, but even that partnership has changed…
Consider this: Google, IBM, HP, Dell, Intel, AMD, Novell, Red Hat, Oracle, Sun, SAP, Accenture, China, India, Ingram Micro, Tech Data, Avnet, vast numbers of global and local resellers, consultants, ISVs, and system integrators are all making vast fortunes for their shareholders off of Linux. Will the industry just let FUD tricks stand in their way??? Heck no, this industry invented FUD and certainly knows how to defeat it.
The real problem is that the industry is already defeating it. The MS monopoly is under attack from all sides: ODF, Linux Desktop, Linux server, Adobe RIA, Eclipse RCP, etc, etc and I see these latest threats as last resort efforts from a company clearly concerned about its long term growth. That’s a natural response, but another way to compete is to just fix your products and deliver something your customers want.

What Ubuntu needs: a commercial ecosystem
Ubuntu needs a commercial ecosystem. There needs to be easy access to commercial software on the platform, commercial peripherals, an “Ubuntu ready” trademark designation. Everyone has something they are willing to pay for on the desktop: tax software, photo applications, games, or perhaps music. There are also scanners, webcams, and printers. While Ubuntu is polished out of the box, has a decent free software suite of applications, many users (especially early adopters) have those one or two items where they need/want a product. Products together create markets.
I look at Bob Sutor’s list of applications he requires. Sure, you can say “well Bob, you could probably use XYZ instead …” but that’s not the point. The point is Mac has been strumming along now for how long, with a minuscule market share, a small group of (paying) loyal users. Mac offers something that can fulfill Bob’s requirements; it has a market with an ecosystem.
I firmly believe Ubuntu has more users than Apple, but Ubuntu doesn’t have a market the size of Apple. There’s no reason Ubuntu can’t create such a market beachhead the size of the Mac base (I have no doubt it will grow from there). Apple has about 3-5% market share. That’s all it takes. Go into a CompUSA, Best Buy, or Cirtcuit City. You will find printers, webcams, and software with “Mac Ready” logos on them. 3-5% market share. No company could put “L-ready” logos out there - what Logo? The penguin? Which L? Ecosystems need a brand to rally around: hence the iPod has done so well.
To create a market Ubuntu needs to align/coordinate its users and community to establish a defined market with value. What’s tough is measuring “downloads” and “estimating” how many “might” buy XYZ app if you make it available on ‘L-world’ I’ve tried making those business cases; start with a large number at the top and it’ll work, but it’s not reality nor is it credible to most business executives.
This is why Dell is so important - Ubuntu can create a market. (dell.com/ubuntu). And no, Dell’s first attempt in 2000 was not a market attempt - it was foolish. As was Sun’s attempt in 2002. Unfortunately those failed attempts in the past leave business managers and marketers with a ‘bad taste from the last time they tried’ - get over it. The new word is Ubuntu.
Part of the problem has also been a highly fragmented ‘L-word’ user base - the ‘which distro do I pick issue’ - but Ubuntu has done miracles in terms of coalescing users around a single distribution. Dell’s market research clearly showed that with over 80% choosing Ubuntu - that’s never happened before - remember, 3-5%.
So will Dell selling Ubuntu suddenly create a market and put a third desktop OS on the map? No, unfortunately not. It’s a great start, but I think even Mark would agree Ubuntu needs more. (Notice I haven’t said “the L-word” once; I keep referring to Ubuntu). Ubuntu is a brand, one that has to be managed. Part of responsibility for that brand is to create the ecosystem to support your brand.
I put forth that Ubuntu doesn’t need ‘another app’, more drivers, etc. right now. It’s ready. What Ubuntu needs is 1) a few key ISV apps (Apple, Intuit, WoW, Adobe) and a few key hardware/peripheral suppliers (printers, webcams, etc). Here’s where the Dell deal opens up brilliant possibilities. The best part, is Mark ‘gets his users’ - he’s so close to them, he knows we don’t want the “e-value” notebook, we want the one with XMB video card, the top of the line screen. I expect the Dell/Ubuntu choices will not be bargain basement models. The ecosystem also needs a channel to reach the users, the consumers. Where do I go to find my “Ubuntu ready” peripherals, systems, or software? Apple is easy - I know where to go for at least one supplier. Where is my Ubuntu branded webcam? Or at least the partner that supplies a webcam that works with Ubuntu/Dell?
ISVs and hardware peripheral vendors want one thing: sell more. If you can show them how, you can get them to support you. Here’s also an interesting chance for every VC, startup, or other small peripheral vendor out there: leverage the brand, rally around it, and grow a market. Look at blade.org - opened a specification for a bladecenter and over $1B poured into the ecosystem. Publish the “Ubuntu specs” for peripheral makers, make it easy for them to support Ubuntu (not the “L-word”). Make it easy for ISVs with the toolkits, test suites, APIs, and documentation they need to write good applications for Ubuntu. Use e-channels to make it easy for users to acquire, purchase, and update those applications (leverage partners - Linspire…).
You say “sure, great idea, but how” and it’s really not that hard. You pick your battles, carefully. Start with a goal of being the next Mac, not world domination. And don’t talk about the ‘L-word’. Use the brand. Ubuntu, Ubuntu, Ubuntu.
Adobe is making huge changes b/c of Microsoft attacking every corner of their business. That’s what Microsoft does, and Microsoft won’t stop until any potential lock Adobe has on a shred of the market is gone. Adobe needs another brand to attach itself to. Apple is one option. Ubuntu is another option. Ubuntu needs to show the vision of what this new market can become. Ubuntu won’t build it on its own and its users certainly won’t have the clout to do it either. Ubuntu needs partners, needs movers to help it create the market. Ubuntu doesn’t need every peripheral maker, just one. Get Logitech or some small provider who now competes with Microsoft keyboards/mice/webcams/etc. Offer them something of value: access to your brand, a new market. HP already support ‘L-word’ drivers for 90% of their printers. (and the next printer I buy WILL be an HP)
I annoys me everytime I see this:
You know where I found that? HP’s website. They invest how much to create/maintain drivers for over 1,000 printers - and yet they don’t have a ‘brand’ to associate compatibility with…. sad. That particular printer I linked to has drivers for ‘L-word’ Yes, ‘L-word’ - sure they work for all the distributions, but they for sure work on Ubuntu. Brand it. The default should be “it’s Ubuntu compatible” and yes, it most likely works with other L-brands too. I think it’s time for this:
Support. Everyone likes to say “yeah but what about support?” Support is relative (literally). How many of us ’support’ our family’s IT infrastructure (and likely the DVD/Tivo/etc too). Consumers don’t care where they get help - they just want help. Forums are fantastic places for that. So are Geek Squads. I’ll bet more users could get better help in Ubuntu forums than calling a Microsoft helpline for $85/hr.
3-5%. Ubuntu is sooo close… so close. Leverage the brand, structure everything you do to measure and demonstrate market creation, and start picking a few, motivated, partners. I nearly cried when after talking to Mark about making an effort to get IDC’s Al Gillen to put a number in for Ubuntu…. the report came out and Ubuntu wasn’t even mentioned… don’t worry, Greg and I hammered on his #2 for IDC looking dumb for missing the largest ‘L-word’ user base. Market creation: demonstrably show the market. It’s the only way to the next level.
Dell is a major coupe; leverage the Dell brand, leverage the Ubuntu brand, leverage the bully in the market - show those in the ecosystem a better market. Your users will support you. And if you need help, use a VC, they have a purpose. Most important: become a strategic partner/brand for others, and create a measurable market.

InformationWeek: “Feds Say Accenture, HP, Sun Kickback Scheme Involved Millions Over 10 Years”
Bad boys, bad boys… whatcha… ah nevermind.
http://www.informationweek.com/security/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=199200496
Sun also is accused of deceiving the government in General Services Administration contracts between 1997 and 2004 that were valued at more than $200 million. The contracts were for general purpose IT equipment, software maintenance, and professional services, which are all distributed government-wide. In awarding the contracts, the government requires a guarantee that it was not paying any more than what Sun was charging its commercial customers. Prosecutors claim Sun didn’t tell the GSA it was charging some commercial customers less.
In addition, according to the complaint, Sun failed to honor the contract’s price reduction clause. Under the clause, if Sun sold the same products and services to another customer at a lesser price during the life of the GSA contracts, then the vendor was required to charge the government the same amount.
Sun’s not alone…
HP, which had business-development partnerships with a dozen companies, paid kickbacks in the form of “influencer fees” to companies that persuaded the government to buy products directly from the vendor.
From 2001 to 2006, at least $3.1 million in influencer fees were paid to the companies. “HP has not disclosed to the government the full extent of the influence fee agreements and payments,” the complaint said.
HP also paid partners “new business opportunity,” or NBO, rebates for buying products and then reselling them to the government. Under federal rules, the rebates should have been disclosed. “The NBO was designed by HP to benefit HP and the alliance partner, but not the end user,” the complaint said. “HP specifically informed its alliance partners that HP did not extend competitive pricing to end users through the NBO.”
As examples, the government said HP paid a total of more than $550,000 in rebates to Northrop Grumman and GTSI in 2005 and 2006.

HP’s Martino Says Linux Foundation Will Push Linux Toward Common Ground
Great article with Christine Martino of HP.
When you look at the combination of OSDL and FSG, one asks, “Why did that happen?” Well, because Linux has matured and is in a different place today. It needs a different set of things to take it to the next level, which doesn’t mean that innovation is gone or that freshness is gone. It means you’re building on a foundation now where Linux has gone into the data center. So the ecosystem and the needs of the community have changed.
