In this episode, we’re excited to bring you a conversation with Watson Health’s Lead Coding Architect, Dixon Whitmire. Dixon is here to give us the details on the open source project Linux For Health, the aim of which is to be the reference implementation for healthcare transactions.Dixon digs into healthcare transaction technology, how patients and healthcare workers interact with health data, and how an open source project like Linux for Health breaks down the silos of different standards and organizations. Along the way, he describes how changes to the software can have immediate real world benefits for anyone who needs access to health records, a requirement that has only grown in urgency in the shadow of a global pandemic.If you’re working in — or thinking of using — an open source environment and you have an interest in the way health records are accessed and shared, you won’t want to miss this discussion.

I've dedicated my career to connecting and empowering the Free Software and Open Source community to solve hard technology problems and have a positive societal impact. I've done this wearing many different hats - as a startup company founder, as an advisor to the U.S. government, as a board member at various non-profits and consortia, as a YGL and employee of the World Economic Forum, and as an investor.

What open-source technologies are most used?The purpose of the Open Source Cloud Guide is to answer those questions.This Open Source Cloud Guide seeks to inform developers about what open source technology is important to contribute to. And, because it’s open sourced itself, you can contribute about the technology that’s included in other clouds.

Hi there, I'm passionate about developer advocacy, cloud computing, and leading teams with empathy.

I previously worked at Shopify as a Developer Advocate with a focus on growing the ecosystem of third-party Shopify developers. Before that I worked at IBM where I had numerous roles, including being a Senior Technical Staff Member (STSM) and Engineering Manager. During my time at IBM I focused on creating content related to IBM Cloud, Kubernetes, OpenShift, and AI. Prior to that I was the Project Team Lead the OpenStack’s Identity service, code named Keystone. And before that I was developing features for IBM's WebSphere Application Server.

I have spoken at various conferences such as Vivatech, Open Infrastructure, Centre for Advanced Students Conference (CASCON), and the Cloud Identity Summit. I'm the co-author of a book, "Identity, Authentication & Access Management in OpenStack", published by O'Reilly Media in 2015.

I lead open quantum and open serverless development and advocacy at IBM.

I also _tri_ to swim, bike, and run whenever I have free time. Bragging rights: 20 marathons, countless 1/2 marathons, 10 Ironman 70.3, and one Ironman 140.6.

I am also an avid photographer for over 20 years with a few awards recently for my street photography work in San Francisco.

I often go by the nickname 'max' or 'dr.max'.

As an open source enthusiast and a passionate coder I have leveraged my technical skills across all the components that makes an enterprise product/software as a whole. I have navigated my way from consuming technologies in my first job to creating cloud technologies and platforms in my current one. My current area of interest lies in scaling and resource utilization in Distributed Systems and primarily working on Kubernetes/OpenShift.
