Meet the experts: On open source firmware development
Slimline Open Firmware (SLOF) provides a largely machine-independent BIOS, illustrating what is needed to initialize and boot Linux, a hypervisor, or any other operating system or virtualization layer on PowerPC-based machines based on the de-facto industry Open Firmware boot standard. Join three experts as they discuss the decisions in developing SLOF and where they'd use it and provide a picture of the boot-up process under SLOF.

Meet the experts: Scott Handy
The Chiphopper initiative is an aggressive, new, end-to-end program from IBM that lets you port code to eServer even if you don't own an eServer. It's aimed at helping ISVs to easily test, port, and then support applications across all IBM systems from OpenPower to zSeries. developerWorks talked with Scott Handy, VP, WW Linux business strategy at IBM, about what it is and how it works.
