In 2012, The Linux Foundation will introduce a new annual technical conference, CloudOpen, designed to provide a collaboration and education space to advance the open cloud. CloudOpen is a conference celebrating and exploring the open source projects, technologies and companies who make up the cloud. It’s built on a belief that open works: for users, for industry and for technology. CloudOpen brings together the open source projects, products and companies that are driving the cloud and big data ecosystems today, along with best practices from the world of traditional open source. This conference is about the future of computing and how users should ensure that their cloud solutions — technologies, data, and APIs — are truly open.

Peter King analyzed the sales numbers for Android based tablets and the Amazon Fire and Nook Tablet garner the largest share. While the overall market improved, the Apple iPad continued to outpace the competition. As noted, Google may not be benefiting from the increase in sales.
