Ingo Boernig

I am totally committed to the open source software ideas and principles. Throughout my career I always worked on integrating and extending Open Source solutions in the enterprise market.

I work at Red Hat, the world's leading provider of open source software solutions. I'm part of the Solution Architect team, responsible for the logistics, retail, travel and energy industry in Germany.

Before joining Red Hat in 2012 I worked in the services unit of IBM, integrating enterprise open source solutions in large organizations and worked on an open source enterprise architecture.

I started my professional career at SUSE in 1999 where the enterprise open source movement kicked off.

I have a diploma in theoretical physics and got exposed to Linux and Open Source software in the mid-nineties at university.


A Path to a More Sustainable IT by Effective Power Monitoring

The Problem It’s getting worse. Every day. The global emissions of carbon dioxide are still increasing , while our global budget to stay in the range of 1.5° C and 2° C is rapidly exhausting. The main emissions are produced by burning fossil fuels for energy generation, transportation and industrial production. Another big source of […]

Patterns III – How to start

After discussing the theoretical background why patterns are useful in common IT-architectures in our first post and discussing the various levels of utilizing patterns in section two, we will now dive a little deeper and look how a pattern can be applied for a practical business problem. Requirements Let us assume we have an application […]

Review of 2023

OpenSourcerers 2023 is a wrap! It was packed with interesting articles covering a wide range of topics. There are 52 articles available covering high level topics down to the dirty technical details of using Red Hat’s products and other OpenSource technologies. Your Opensourcerers blog editors followed along of course! As we come from varying backgrounds […]

Patterns II – The Approach

ˈpætɚns Image source https://vecteezy.com/ Recap In the first article, we discussed the need for patterns as an architectural paradigm, in order to achieve re-usability across complex environments such as Hybrid Cloud scenarios. We identified the benefits of a pattern based approach. We talked about automation, Hybrid Cloud, and about organizational aspects We’ve learned that patterns […]

Patterns – A Path Towards Hybrid Cloud

ˈpætɚns Probably almost every time we are starting to understand and to solve a general problem, we will ask ourselves, am I the first one who is facing that problem, or have there been others who in the end either failed or succeeded. This is particularly true, if I am highly uncertain whether my own […]

Quantum Computing – How to start and how to say “Hello World!”

Introduction In my previous post on Open Source and Quantum Computing Quantum Computing: Open Source from the Start we learned about Quantum Computing in general and how Open Source is used to provide access to this new computing paradigm. This post will now focus on how to get started and provide a very easy guide […]

Quantum Computing: Open Source from the Start

This blog post will discuss why Quantum Computing is a natural step to evolve our computing capabilities. I will give a short overview of the core principles and differences to classical computing and how anyone with interest is able to access quantum computers — using Open Source software. Why do we care about quantum computing? […]

Why “Operate first” is important for your project

An interview with my colleagues Marcel Hild and Robert Bohne on new ways to apply Open Source principles to operating software. Ingo:   Hello Robert, hello Marcel! Nice to have you here! And today we have an interesting topic “operate first” and I’m very curious what that really means. So, Marcel and Robert, please introduce […]

How Open Source masters the vertical industry challenge

An Interview with Leslie Hawthorn, Open Source Program Office, Red Hat How does Open Source innovation work in vertical industry communities? To explore the inroads of Open Source Software in vertical industry use cases and applications I have invited a real expert in this field: Leslie Hawthorn, responsible for vertical community strategy in Red Hat’s […]

A beginners guide to Open Source Innovation

How it started – How it’s going… When Open Source (or better: free software) started in the 1980ies, it was a movement to gain back control over devices and computers. In the early days, computers had been sold and the software was coming with it, source code included, so everyone could explore it.  But when […]
