Fedora after IBM acquiring RH

[mohamed fawzy]

Hello All,

What's your opinion about thd decision as an opensource geek?
How will be the opensource future specially Fedora, Centos and Ansible?

Do you think that the senario of Microsoft and Github will be repeated?

BR,
Mohamed

I am quite sure that there will be no change at all - maybe we
might have more channels and perhaps more funding to do the work
we are already doing supporting and working with the open source
community.

Red Hat's DNA is built on open source and that can never change.

Because?

Please remember, IBM has been supporting Open Source for about 20 years now... and even ran a number of commercials supportive of Linux.  What year was it they invested $1 billion?  If you haven't seen any of those commercials, just go to YouTube and search for "IBM Linux commercials" and I'm sure it'll come right up.  I wonder how much it cost to get all of those area experts to appear in the commercials?!?  Muhammad Ali for example.  Many of the older experts in those commercials are gone now.

Also, imagine if you will... if rather than Red Hat... IBM had bought Canonical.  How would you feel if you learned that all of IBM's customers (including cloud deployments) would be installing nothing but Ubuntu from now on?

We'll have to see how it pans out but thus far, I'm fairly optimistic.

IBM had several different tag lines in their commercials like:

The Future is Open
Linux is Everywhere
etc.

I think the Future IS Open.

TYL,
