Weekly Wire special: Linux.com quizzes new Red Hat CEO Jim Whitehurst (video)
,----[ Quote ]
| Jim Whitehurst and I met at JBoss World in Orlando, Florida, on the morning
| of February 13, 2008, pulled up a couple of chairs, turned on the camcorder,
| and talked. This video is totally uncut. Our idea here is to give you a sense
| of the man in a way no text interview can.

Good interview. Unlike those crazy ones with Ballmer scratching the back on his
neck every 10 seconds and then flapping his arms...

| "He's an operator," says Raven Zachary, an analyst with the 451 Group. "It's
| tough to run an airline. Even though there have been lots of critiques of the
| airlines, the reality is that he understands complex issues related to
| operations."
|
| That knowledge is what Red Hat appears to need as it looks to evolve past its
| Linux operating system roots. The company is attempting to mix the Linux
| operating system, virtualization, middleware, independent software vendor
| (ISV) applications and software delivered as services into an enterprise data
| centre platform.

| You have a strong business background, is signing a cross-patent licensing
| deal with Microsoft still bad business for Red Hat?
|
| If we knew what kind of patent issues we had that would be helpful. So it is
| hard to have productive conversation if we don't know what they are.
