As a former application developer (sort of) and an administrator\/architect before coming to EMC, I constantly wrote code, scripts, and anything I could do to make my life easier. \u00a0I always kept my stash of code, but I never had all the pieces I needed, and would go looking for code samples, or prewritten code, when I needed it.<\/p>\n

I remember being given some tasks 20 years ago, where I had to automate some authentication processes on a Slackware Linux system for my remote users. \u00a0We didn’t really have the SSO capabilities that we have today, and to make this happen, the process was comprised of custom code\/scripts, cron jobs, and a waiting period until everything caught up. \u00a0 I’d grab this piece of code for the shell BBS I was running, along with some code to handle the authentication updates, handling the bank of screaming 14.4K modems for RAS, and so on. \u00a0When I needed code,\u00a0I’d have to look at a multitude of different places for code\/samples\/tools\/etc.<\/p>\n

There was a time where it was pretty difficult (at least for me) to find things for EMC, as a customer, or even as an employee. \u00a0As a customer, I’d access Powerlink.emc.com, and hope to find what I was looking for. Oops, I don’t have access… Hey SE, can you get me this? \u00a0As an employee, I had more access, but as we started to transition to the new Support site (http:\/\/support.emc.com\/<\/a><\/strong>) some things were here, others there. There were times where I’d have to ask… Is it on Powerlink? Support? The EMC Community Network?<\/p>\n

The was no “official” place for “unofficial” scripts\/code. \u00a0Some info could be found on blogs, some on ECN, and some on individual\u00a0blogs… There was no way go to a single place to find the different scripts\/code for EMC gear\/software. \u00a0Until now.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>EMC is not the company it once was. EMC is constantly changing. One such change, is embracing Open Source contributions internally and externally.<\/p>\n

EMC recently launched EMC {code}<\/a><\/strong> – The Community Onramp for Developer Enablement. A single place to enable developers, by providing both EMC AND<\/strong> community contributions of open source code, drivers, tools, samples, and more.<\/p>\n

In the last several years, EMC has embraced the Open Source community. \u00a0I’m not certain when we (EMC) truly “got it,”\u00a0but Open Source is here to stay at EMC.<\/p>\n

From looking at the EMC {code} site, it would appear that many are contributing Open Source code\/tools\/samples for use\/integration with EMC’s offerings.<\/p>\n

I hope to be a contributor sooner than later to EMC {code}, as I’d really like to roll my sleeves up and make something usable like I once did. \u00a0Maybe then I can get Cowger<\/a><\/strong> off my back. \u00a0I’m working on Matt, I promise.<\/p>\n

So if you are looking for some code snippets\/samples\/tools that are EMC-centric, check out the EMC {code}<\/a><\/strong> site today.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
