Ca sera sans doute parmi les aventures les plus chaudes que j’ai connu dans ma vie. Grâce à Jeremy, nous serons une vingtaine à aller visiter la Mecque des industries de pointe. Silicon Valley accueille les sièges sociaux et campus de nombreuses entreprises. Quand je me rends compte que cette zone joue avec un PIB qui équivaut à celui d’un pays comme le Chili, je sens à l’instant même une sorte de frousse qui s’installe dans mon dos. Entre le 25 novembre 2007 et 2 décembre 2007, je serai à San Francisco plus précisément à la Silicon Valley.
Le but :
Visiter Microsoft, CISCO, Google, Apple, Yahoo…
Pour ne pas galvauder l’ambiance ni le suspens, je voulais juste dire que je suis impatient et j’ai hâte de partir. En ce qui concerne les détails du voyage, je crois savoir que vous saviez pourquoi je m’abstiens à les mentionner 
IBM Unveils Its Latest Open Client Offering February 13, 2007

From eweek.com
IBM has a new open client offering that runs on Linux, Microsoft Windows and, later this year, the Apple Macintosh, and which is supported by services from IBM, Red Hat and Novell.
Customers will be able to select technologies and applications from IBM and some of its business partners.
These include IBM productivity tools that support the Firefox Web browser, Lotus Notes and Lotus Domino, Lotus Sametime and IBM WebSphere Portal v6 on the Red Hat Desktop Linux suite, and the Novell SUSE Desktop Linux.
IBM has itself deployed an open client solution internally that is built on many of the same components it is making available to customers with this offering.
The new services are based on the best practices it learned from that internal desktop deployment, which includes Lotus collaboration software products running Red Hat’s Enterprise Linux Workstation, he said.
The services in this new offering include capabilities for desktop management support and application migration, and are aimed at helping customers pilot, implement and gain value from what Jollans describes as “security-rich and reliable Linux and open standards-based solutions.”
The operating services will be provided by Linux distributors Red Hat and Novell. This new client offering is available immediately and is priced based on customer requirements, he said.
The goal is to offer choice to customers, such as those who are already using Lotus Notes, Domino or Sametime, but also have a Microsoft Enterprise Agreement. Many of them are currently weighing a move to Windows Vista and Office 2007 and looking at all the associated costs.
“It also gives them the opportunity to relook at the applications they have, on which platforms they run, and if they can use those on the other platforms supported by this offering.”
