The Linux Foundation's end-user cooperation summit was successful.

Article title: The Linux Foundation's end-user cooperation summit was a hit. Linux is a technology channel of the IT lab in China. Includes basic categories such as desktop applications, Linux system management, kernel research, embedded systems, and open source.

Last week, The Linux Foundation End User Summit was held in New York, United States. The news was particularly blocked because no media personnel were allowed to attend the summit. It is not until today that the relevant conference information has been known to everyone. Participants will not be introduced. they are all Linux users from all walks of life, including many financial and banking enterprises, such as Swiss credit, AIG, Merrill Lynch, UBS, and Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group. Others include the US Navy, the Chicago Stock Exchange, and the New York Stock Exchange. Many financial and investment companies in the financial crisis are not able to attend this time, but this does not prevent them from becoming Linux enterprise users.

This conference has many highlights, such as the release of the next-generation Linux file system, BtrFS. Chris Mason from Oracle described the prospects of this file system and solved many problems arising from data growth. At present, BtrFS is completed by a working group in collaboration. the working group is headed by personnel from Oracle, including IBM, Intel, Novell, and so on. The team hopes to see BtrFS in the Linux kernel before the end of the year. Representatives from end users expressed their welcome to this new file system, especially the usability mentioned in the speech. Similarly, Ted Ts 'o, principal manager of the Linux Foundation kernel team, announced the next-generation ext4 file system, which will be included in the Linux kernel release.

Representatives from the community often do not miss this opportunity to express their views. They have called on these large Linux end users to constantly put pressure on hardware vendors to develop open-source drivers as soon as possible, instead of the ones that are currently popular in the community, obtain the driver through reverse engineering.

These large Linux users also said they will actively participate in testing and feedback on the Linux public edition kernel, and help the community better improve and develop new kernel technologies, instead of cooperating with commercial Linux Publishers. A representative from one of the major banks made a commitment to the new version of the kernel and gave feedback to the community.

It is strange that none of the end users of the conference have deployed ZFS file systems in the production environment (on the Linux platform ?).

The Linux system management topic of this end user conference can be considered as the best topic of this conference, reflecting the meaning of this conference. during this several-hour collective discussion, representatives from end users, developers and product suppliers gathered to discuss how to improve system and performance management efficiency and necessary management measures. The results of these discussions will be compiled into case documents by The Linux Foundation's final user committee and placed on the Linux Foundation website for community developers and vendors to download the research. This cooperation method will play an immeasurable role in improving the management level of the Linux platform. The Linux Foundation will report the cooperation results at the end user summit next year.

In other system and performance management topics, there is a special discovery. Although the participants have rich experience on the Linux platform and a high level of practice, they are not particularly concerned about other solutions and technologies in the community. Finally, the conference decided to create a knowledge base on the website of the Linux Foundation after the meeting. The knowledge base will be jointly maintained by product suppliers and users, and will be promoted to a larger level, encourage more users to participate and read, and promote mutual communication and discussion.

Gerrit Huizenga from IBM also elaborated on IBM's cloud computing ideas and the importance of Linux as an operating system. more detailed explanations will be given in the Linux Foundation document collection published next month.
