I was contacted a few months back by a reporter about my dealings with this charity, but somehow with the vagaries of time differences, …
The most coveted piece of hardware seen at the Red Hat Summit: These showed up at the semi-exclusive, Office Space-themed RHCT/RHCE cocktail reception on Wednesday night before the IBM beach party.
