A caldera is a large crater formed by a volcano. A caldera usually has a flat level surface at the bottom of the crater formed by the hardening of a lake of lava.
Yellowstone National Park is largely contained within the Yellowstone caldera, which is responsible for its many spectacular geological features.
Calderas around the World:
1) Iceland: Askja
2) California: Long Valley
Caldera is a technology company associated with the Linux and open source movement, including producing workstation and server distributions. Unlike most other Linux companies, however, Caldera purchased the rights to the UNIX mark and the SCO UNIX product line (a proprietary product for Intel computers that would be expected to compete rather directly with Linux).
In 2002, Caldera's management recognized that the majority of its profits were coming from the legacy SCO flavor of UNIX, and renamed the company the SCO Group. On March 7 of the following year, Chris Sontag, a senior vice president of the corporation announced that they were suing IBM over its contributions to Linux, claiming that IBM stole SCO trade secrets and gave them to Linux kernel developers.
