Announcing SQL Server on Linux
Today I’m excited to announce our plans to bring SQL Server to Linux as well. This will enable SQL Server to deliver a consistent data platform across Windows Server and Linux, as well as on-premises and cloud. We are bringing the core relational database capabilities to preview today, and are targeting availability in mid-2017.
Microsoft is taking its relationship with the Eclipse community to the next level by joining the Eclipse Foundation as a Solutions Member. Joining the Eclipse Foundation enables us to collaborate more closely with the Eclipse community, deliver a great set of tools and services for all development teams, and continuously improve our cloud services, SDKs and tools.

What is Shashlik?
The goal of Shashlik is to provide a way to run Android applications on a standard Linux desktop as easily and simply as possible.
Essentially, Shashlik runs Android in the background on your Linux system. (Shashlik developers are working on stripping down Android as much as possible.) OpenGL and graphics code are rendered directly on your Linux system for speed, but Shashlik provides an Android activity manager, daemons, and intents so Android apps will work properly.
But Shashlik isn’t just an emulator—it aims to provide a more native experience. When you install an Android app, Shashlik will extract its icon and create a menu entry so you can launch that Android app just like you’d launch any other Linux desktop app. All the Android emulation happens behind the scenes.
