The future of open source is in the middle
,----[ Quote ]
| Open-source software is likely to remain in
| certain niches, former Red Hat VP Erik
| Troan says, but open source is increasingly
| becoming a necessary foundation.
|
| [...]
|
| What people are really paying for in open
| source is editing, said Troan, channeling
| his grandfather, who was a newspaper editor
| for decades. They're relying on other
| people to pick out the bits of code and
| pieces of software that do what they need
| to get done once they're put together.

Red Hat (and KVM) are still RHEL-evant
,----[ Quote ]
| I started to read with a bipartisan mindset
| about âXen and Theory of RHEL-evanceâ
| posted in the Citrix community blog by
| Simon Crosby. What appears to be a great
| title at first seems to be mostly FUD on
| why KVM is doomed for failure especially in
| the enterprise marketplace and Red Hat will
| drown with it. It did not have enough
| facts, just FUD most of the time. I would
| to counter his so called âfactsâ here as
| its been a long time anyway since I last
| updated my blog.
