“This site is one of the ways in which Red Hat gives something back to the open source community. Our desire is to create a connection point for conversations about the broader impact that open source can have--and is having--even beyond the software world.As you see in the header above, we think of this site as a Red Hat community service. Meaning all ideas are ' ' :
welcome, and all participants are welcome.This will not be a site for Red Hat, about Red Hat. Instead this will be a site for open source, about the future.”
