    [$] Rockstor — A Btrfs-based NAS distribution
    This is the second article in a short series on distributions designed for
    use in a network-attached storage (NAS) box. The first was a look at OpenMediaVault, a fairly traditional
    NAS distribution. The subject this time around — Rockstor — is a different beast; its
    purpose is to make the features of the Btrfs filesystem available behind an
    easy-to-use, web-oriented management interface.

    [$] Bob Young on freedom, control, and the GPL
    Bob Young, known to the free-software community as the co-founder of Red Hat, founder of the print-on-demand service Lulu, and creator of the non-profit Center For The Public Domain, delivered the morning keynote address on the first full day of linux.conf.au (LCA) 2015 in Auckland. Although Young confessed several times to not being as plugged-in to the Linux and free-software economy as he once was, he had plenty of wisdom to dispense to the crowd.
