    [$] Making containers safer
    On day one of the Linux
    Security Summit North America     (LSS-NA), Stéphane Graber and Christian
    Brauner gave a presentation on the current state and the future of
    container security. They both work for Canonical on the LXD project;
    Graber is the project lead and Brauner is the maintainer. They looked at
    the different kernel mechanisms that can be used to make containers more
    secure and provided some recommendations based on what they have learned
    along the way.

    [$] OpenPOWER opens further
    In what was to prove something of a theme throughout the morning, Hugh
    Blemings said that he had been feeling a bit like a kid waiting for
    Christmas recently, but that the day when the presents can be unwrapped had
    finally arrived. He is the executive
    director of the OpenPOWER
    Foundation     and was kicking off the keynotes for the second day of the
    2019
    OpenPOWER Summit North America    ; the keynotes would reveal the "most
    significant and impressive announcements" in the history of the project, he
    said. Multiple presentations outlined a major change in the openness of
    the OpenPOWER instruction set architecture (ISA), along with various
    related hardware and software pieces; in short, OpenPOWER can be used by
    compliant products without paying royalties and with a grant of the patents
    that IBM holds on it. In addition, the foundation will be moving under the
    aegis of the Linux Foundation.
