Sempra Energy bids $9.45 billion for Oncor

SAN DIEGO Sempra Energy is buying Texas power transmitter Oncor for $9.45 billion in cash, wresting it away from Warren Buffetts Berkshire Hathaway.

Sempra said Monday that it also will pick up $9.35 billion of the companys debt. To gain possession of Oncor, Sempra will acquire the reorganized Energy Future Holdings Corp. Energy Future entered bankruptcy in 2014, saddled with more than $40 billion in debt caused by cratering energy prices.

Berkshire Hathaway said last month that it would buy Oncor for $9 billion. Hedge fund Elliott Management, which owns a significant portion of Oncors debt, opposed Berkshires takeover bid, saying it wasnt enough. A spokesman said Elliott supports Sempras bid because it will provide more to Oncor and Energy Futures creditors.

How are you improving software development and deployment? – The Register

The call for papers for Continuous Lifecycle 2018 is open now, and we really want to hear whats happening out in the real world.

We want to take our attendees beyond the buzzwords and show them what really happens when real tech pros take ideas like Continuous Delivery and DevOps and technologies like Containerisation and put them to work.

You may have been given a pile of cash and free rein to re-imagine software development and deployment from the ground up. If so, tell us about it - cos were pretty sure that rarely happens.

If youve moved to Continuous Delivery via the unpicking of 20 or 30 years of code, containerised your apps and still have a mainframe in the mix, wed love to hear about that, and so would your peers who face similar challenges.

And if you want to demonstrate the tools you've developed in the process live on stage, without a safety net, well, what could possibly go wrong?

The call for papers closes on October 20, and shortly after that, our esteemed programme committee will be chewing through the proposals, looking for the meat, and discarding the marketing waffle.

For some added inspiration, you can see a selection of this year's speakers here. At the same time, if youre a little unsure about your proposed topic, or simply havent done this sort of thing before, get in touch. Were happy to talk things through and help you get your proposal into shape.

You can get full details of the process, and the issues were particularly interested in here. We look forward to hearing from you.
