Open Metaverse Foundation & Web3

This could be the start of a new tech era.

It's one thing to apply blockchain technology to an existing infrastructure where large corporations could still centralize power due to exchanges being trusted by the public with certified brand names. But, what if the public could trust smaller entities? And how does a small entity quickly get into the game of trusted exchanges among large corporations without looking like a troll, a bot, or a hacker?

There has to be more tools available and a new information infrastructure to certify these tools. I think the new OMF is what will usher in this new digital era and establish blockchain technology, AI, and VR/AR. And, the quicker we can launch quantum computing, the quicker OMF will rise.

P.S. Interestingly, one noticeable sponsor is Meta.

Review: Cloud Info Model vs Open Data Initiative

Like every big wave of advancing technology, I'm still trying to wrap my head around the two different options of data centralization and accessibility (i.e. how I see this 'data' game construct being played in the market). Linux initiated the Cloud Information Model (CIM) and has partners signed onto their team. Microsoft initiated the Open Data Initiative (ODI) and has partners signed onto their team. I guess one of the differences is that CIM focuses on storing data in the cloud whereas ODI allows more flexibility as to where to store the data yet enforcing a common metadata structure.

Quick look at ODI

Quick look at CIM

I need to do more research. I'm curious to know where the data developers stand on this like those who worked on MongoDB, Oracle, MS-SQL, and the MySQL community.

Review: Microsoft Azure mostly serving Linux

This article was cool to read. I'm glad to see that the new Microsoft continues to support the Linux world. More so, to see that they support the open source communities. This provides great insight that any Microsoft Servers will eventually be no longer supported. On the other hand, if developers (and IT) don't already know how to work in a Linux environment, then it's time to start learning and practicing.

Review: Linux Foundaton launches ELISA

"ELISA’s responsibilities will chiefly involve developing reference documentation and use cases, educating the open source community on safety engineering best practices, and enabling “continuous feedback” to improve processes and automate quality assurance testing. Additionally, the organization will help members monitor hazards and critical system components and lay the groundwork for a set of policies members’ response teams can follow in the event something goes wrong." - VentureBeat

This is another great article on another great technology. Thanks, Linux Foundation!

Oh, and not the Elisa music player.
