The OSBC 2008 started with a Keynote from Matt Asay. Here are some of my "takeaways"
The next Keynote was from Jim Whitehurst, President & CEO of Red Hat. He started with a marketing multimedia that gave some interesting facts:
Red Hat is seen as one of the largest and most successful open source vendor, and it will be stepping up to its role as an OSS leader.
The career path at Red Hat starts in Services with promotion to Development. This reminds me of my time in aerospace, where a "proper" career path was to start in QA/Test, move to development and then "retire" back into a QA role.
Jim has never seen a company as focused on the customer as is Red Hat.
Jim went over some points that fall under Red Hat's evolving Business Model.
I had to skip the next keynote to prepare for my first scheduled meeting of the day.
