RedHat Partner Summit 2008
Two years after Canness RedHat event, a new summit reserved to RedHat Partners strikes back in Europe (Malaga). This time the format is a bit changed, and now it seems really similar to the offical RedHat Summit (USA).
I’ve spent three long days (for “long” I mean get up at 7.00 AM and never go to sleep untill 2.00 AM…) speching with other european partners about new solutions in Linux and JBoss markets and new opportunities for OpenSource software over the European countries. For me it was also my first occasion to meet Jim Whitehurst (new RedHat CEO) and to hear him saying things that are already MUST in Byte-Code, such as share custom customers software as OpenSource, to avoid writing and re-writing same things every time, not only to build “OpenSource products”, but also to build “OpenSource customers”.
It was also a great occasion to meet some old friends I didn’t see from a long long time, and to know new exciting friends.
It was also first big event for Carmen, RedHat employee since last month, now involved into RedHat Marketing team. I hope to see her also in Fedora marketing as soon as possibile 
In my hopinion the only big missing stuff in the event was Fedora. Of course, it was a “business” event, but I can’t belive RedHat wants to manage event where community is too far, also because bussiness could (IMHO should) need to know the “voice of community”.
Due to the party on the beach I couldn’t attendee last Fedora Ambassadors meeting, last Wednesday, but I’d like to put this event in agenda for next year also for Fedora community.
Davide Presentation about JBoss migration is ready
