With two surprise acquisitions this week we have a lot of synergies to discuss. We cover Samsung picking up Joyent, and Microsoft buying LinkedIn. Highly related is a recent article trying to explain what’s going on with private equity buying tech companies. Then, we discuss the big news from chef we’ve been waiting for: the announcement of habitat. Also see full show notes.

What’s more delightful than finding a cup of coffee you forgot about earlier in the morning? Bonus coffee, more than you thought was left. I have some trips coming up, not least of which is the week in Poland. I’ll be speaking at a meet-up in Warsaw and then twice at Devoxx.PL in Kraków. Hopefully this poison ivy I have will be abated as much as possible by my flight!

While Texas moistens up, we talk about the morals of rich tech folks suing journalists, the state of open source business, the history of the BI market, and how to use the Meeker decks. Check out the full show notes for links to the recommendations, conferences, and tech news items we didn’t get to cover. Also see full show notes.

The nook of the IT world I operate in now - application development and delivery - had a good event this week in the Cloud Foundry Summit. This is the annual meeting of the open source foundation and community built around Cloud Foundry. There are several distributions of the core project, I of course work at Pivotal where we offer Pivotal Cloud Foundry (to much momentum over the past year). Sam gives a good overview of the event if you'r interested.

After we learn how to divide by eight, we discuss Uber being shut-down in Austin, then a recent case for hypervisors aging out. Also, we all agree that we’re way too old to consider anything new. Also see full show notes.

This week I'm at OSCON in Austin - loads of people are in-town! Next week I'll be at CF Summit in Santa Clara. It's a good chance to see people talking about "cloud native" and they're applying it at their company. I've got a 20% discount code if you want to register. DevOpsDays Seattle last week was good fun. The foot-traffic by our table was excellent. During breaks it was so loud you could barely hear people talking.

This week it's DevOpsDays Seattle after a few days at home. I have two extra passes to give out to that conference if you're interested, plus a discount code, per usual. Check out cote.io/promos for that code plus discounts to other DevOpsDays, OSCON Austin, and the Cloud Foundry summit. OSCON is next week in Austin, which will be fun! Coté ContentChange review boards aren't helpful — www.theregister.co.uk My monthly column at The Register looks at one of the findings of the DevOps studies: One of the more wickedly astonishing findings from the current DevOps Report is that change review or advisory boards have little effect on a company’s performance.
