 In the News

[I didn't see enough buzz made about these, hence posting.]

Couple inspiring moves by FSF and Red Hat to end software patents:


While at that, also check out What’s Going On With Red Hat Desktop Systems? An Update.

The list in there just doesn't do justice on how important a role Red Hat's Desktop team plays in advancement of the Free Software desktop and laptop experience. With recent hires like Matthew Garrett, Richard Hughes, and William Jon McCann, you know how serious we are about doing the Right Thing. I feel so privileged to be part of that.

 First Year at Red Hat

Passed so fast!

My undergrad friends seem to be ending up around the Bay area one after the other. When they ask me if I'm going to give Google a try, I just tell them that I love my job at Red Hat.

Time is a jet plane, it moves too fast
Oh, but what a shame if all we've shared can't last.
I can change, I swear, oh, oh,
See what you can do.
I can make it through,
You can make it too.

You're A Big Girl Now, Bob Dylan

 Chris Blizzard is *the* catalyst

Luis, you are totally on spot. Chris Blizzard totally rocks, and is the catalyst. He was the one who initially asked me why I don't join Red Hat too.
