Now independent from previous owner Micro Focus International PLC, SUSE is out to make its presence more deeply felt with developers and innovators. Its biggest competitors, Red Hat Inc. and Microsoft Corp., have developed impressively broad, varied portfolios. Can SUSEpull any tricks from its Linux-distro hat interesting enough to compete for the attention of leading-edge, developer-driven IT departments?

Even amid the COVID-19 pandemic, SUSEis busily engaging with its community, according toMelissa Di Donato, chief executive officer of SUSE.Open source is developing a community that often times does not sit together. And now were really trying to engage with that community as much as possible to keep innovation alive, to keep collaboration alive, Di Donato said.

SUSE will collaborate and integrate with its developer community in 2020, as well as sharpen its focus on Linux use cases at the edge, such as autonomous driving, Di Donato added.

Di Donatospoke withStu Miniman, host of theCUBE, SiliconANGLE Medias livestreaming studio, during the SUSECON Digital event. They discussed how to drive engagement in open-source communities and how SUSEis infusing its portfolio with artificial intelligence, edge technology and more. (* Disclosure below.)

SUSEhas recently opened up a community to developers with content around Linux, DevOps, containers, Kubernetes, microservices and more. It has also introduced the SUSECloud Application Platform Developer Sandbox.

We wanted to make it easy for these developers to benefit from the best practicesthat evolved from the cloud-native application deliverythat we offer every day to customers and now for free to our developers, Di Donato said.You can expect SUSE to enter new markets like powering autonomous vehicles with safety-certified Linux and other really innovative technologies.

For example, SUSEiscarving out fresh terrain through its partnership with ElectrobitWireless Communications Oy, aleading providerof embedded software solutions for automotive. The two companies will be working on the use of safety-certified Linux in self-driving cars. Also, next quarter the company will announce a solution for simplifying the integration of AI building blocks into software.
