Jim Whitehurst didn’t take the stage in a robe and sing/dance with a choir as his predecessor Matthew Szulik once did, but the Red Hat CEO did evangelize on the need for “open source” development in business as well as in communities.
That was the theme of his keynote speech to open the Red Hat Summit earlier this week in San Francisco.
By the way, he also served as a ring bearer at the on-stage wedding to close the conference.
The week included a lot of news, such as expanded partnerships with Microsoft and Lenovo.
