Shuttleworth raves about Dell XPS13 developer edition

May 24, 2013

At the OpenStack summit last month we caught up with Ubuntu and Canonical founder Mark Shuttleworth.

Below is a quick snippet taken from our chat with Mark where he talks about the Dell XPS 13 developer edition aka Project Sputnik.  Mark dubs the system “freakin’ awesome” and the “environment of choice for anyone doing web or cloud development.”  🙂

Sputnik satellite sited in Portland Oregon

April 26, 2013

Last week, during the OpenStack Summit that was held in Portland, Oregon, a 55 year-old soviet satellite was spotted a various indoor locations.  Rumor has it that the satellite was named after a project at Dell to create a developer client-to-cloud platform.

Talking OpenStack, DevOps and Project Sputnik at the OpenStack Summit

April 25, 2013

Last week Dell’s cloud group was out in force at the OpenStack Summit in Portland, Oregon.  Its amazing to see how the event has grown since the first design summit back in July of 2010.

I got to catch up with a bunch of people, and attend a few sessions and some parties.  I also got to spend a fair amount of time in our booth and was impressed by the amount of interest we had in the XPS 13 developer edition.

Near the end of the first day I joined John Furrier and Jeff Frick in the Cube for a chat.  We talked about the growth of OpenStack, DevOps and Project Sputnik.
