ABOUT THE PRESENTATION
Open source development is rapidly gaining momentum due to developer interest as well as empowerment to end users. This presentation will describe Red Hat's approach to balancing the interests of community, customers, and business partners. We will see how open source projects are integrated to form our distribution and how Red Hat fosters and contributes to the community development process. This approach can serve as a model to others who are trying to understand the intersection of free open source software and business.
