For a lot of people who knew what Clear Linux OS was\, that is sad. For a few people who worked on it\, it's a giant loss of everything that we built\, and e verything we accomplished. Most of it was never made public - all the se cret sauce. \;\n \;\nI'm going to present why this was such a loss for everyone\, and not just the users. The main thought is that we didn 't just start a cool Linux distro. Because what we had to do was to appe ase the corporate lawyers\, the Security guys\, the product guys\, and t he management of the company\, that doing Clear Linux OS was not a risk. And that it was a good idea to begin with. \;\n \;\nAnd this mean s specifically that Compliance was important. And that we had a well oil ed machine to keep producing updates\, securely\, and deliver speed and excellence to our users. And we did so - twice a day - for almost a deca de. \;\n \;\nThis talk is going to be specifically about what I'm doing today to build a new OSS Linux Distribution factory. A machine tha t builds the distribution\, that does all these things. And it does it w ith compliance at heart. And I'll tell you why I'm doing it like this. S o that you can understand what is going to come out of it in the future\ , and what the value of that will be. \;\n \;\nFollow the project at https://ur.foo-projects.org/ and come listen to my talk! \;\n \ ;\nBio: \;\n \;\nAuke (pronunciation provided on request) Kok is a Dutch person living in Oregon since 2005\, when he decided to quit a pe rfectly good job and move there\, assuming it would be a good place to w ork on Linux stuff (and get paid). Before that period\, he already studi ed CS in Amsterdam under Andrew Tanenbaum of Minix fame\, and was a proj ect lead for a Source-Based Linux Distribution. After the move to Oregon he worked for Intel for 17 years doing a little kernel work\, and a lot of Linux Distribution Engineering. Auke founded the Clear Linux project with a few others\, and built the distribution from scratch\, and it wa s pretty neat. Nowadays he's no longer at Intel\, and has figured out th at Linux Kernel work isn't what he likes to do. So he decided to start a new Linux Distro project again\, but this time\, it's serious. Aside be ing obsessed about Linux Distributions and how they should work\, Auke t ries to stay in shape by rock climbing\, and taking care of his own litt le piece of Oregon Forest up somewhere in the hills\, together with his wife and three kids. To keep the house heated\, he provides his experien ce and skills to Verge.IO where he is building the future Linux OS produ ct that this company will offer as a product for those that wish to move away from VMWare and hosting their own private Cloud Infrastructure.
