    Swarm v. Fleet v. Kubernetes v. Mesos (O'Reilly)
    Here's a
    survey of orchestration systems     on the O'Reilly site. "Various
    software tools and solutions exist to help with these challenges. Let’s
    focus on orchestration tools, which help make all the pieces work together,
    working with the cluster to start containers on appropriate hosts and
    connect them together. Along the way, we’ll consider scaling and automatic
    failover, which are important features.    "

    Mozilla Launches Open Source Support Program

    Mozilla CEO Mitchell Baker has announced the launch of "an award program specifically focused on supporting open source and free software. The main focus of the program will be to provide financial support of other projects, "to recognize and celebrate communities who are leading the way with open source projects that contribute to our work and the health of the Web. It encompasses both: a) a “give back” element for open source and free software projects that Mozilla relies on; and b) a “give forward” component for supporting other projects where financial resources from Mozilla can make our entire community more successful." The initial funding allocation for the program is $1,000,000, and Mozilla is seeking applications for ten recipient projects. The announcement also notes that one planned component of the program will be to fund security-related work. (Thanks to Martin Michlmayr)
