Segment Two- IBM revs up for a Linux Future–
with Dan Frye

Tonight we will have a conversation with our old friend
Dan Frye, Director of IBM’s Technology Center. Dan
has been on the show before and is well known by our regular
listeners. We will discuss the expanding presence of IBM as a power
house Linux vendor and freind to the Open Source community. SCO may
become a part of the conversation, but we will be stressing IBM’s
role as a driving force for the enterprise adoption of Linux.

The Linux Technology Center (http://www-124.ibm.com/developerworks/oss/linux/)
was founded to track the various technical contributions IBM as a
whole is making to Linux and related development communities. This
site is hosted by the IBM Linux Technology Center whose mission is
to work directly with the Linux development community with a shared
vision of making Linux succeed.

Since 1999, we have been talking about the remarkable sudden
redirection of IBM to take hold of Linux and Open Source and make
it a core corporate business tool. This story has to be one of the
most remarkable stories of a wholesale cange in corporate culture
in the IT industry history. Many people (and countless inhouse
geeks) were responsible for this change in course, but as co-author
of the original strategy papers used by IBM on both Linux and open
source, Dan Frye has to be one of the chief navigators of the
changes at IBM.

Like all changes in direction, this course change has not been
without storms and controversy; SCO just being the most visable to
the public to date. But month by month more and more of the IBM
corporate culture has been won over to the light side of the force.
Now that the new course SEEMS set for IBM corp bosses, Frye has
changed his own course from in-house advocate to coordinating open
source developments with IBM and assuring smooth relations with the
community at large. As Director of the Linux Technology Center, Dan
works directly with a number of differing Linux development
projects transforming linux into a practical business reality for
IBM clients, and the entire linux community. IBM is very active in
community development hosting a number of project out on
Sourceforge and is a sponsor member of the Open Source Development
Lab (see last weeks show with Larry.).

What has impressed us most here at TLS is that IBM has not just
talked a good game, but they have peformed and lived up to every
commitment with the Open SOurce community. A great deal of the good
work is due to the good start down the path delivered at the hands
of Dan Frye.
