Interview with Red Hat VP Michael Tiemann

david_ross writes "An interview with Red Hat's Vice President Michael Tiemann has just been posted on LinuxQuestions.org. His responses in the interview show that RedHat's community product, Fedora, has a bright future: "The project has been incredibly successful, and we have a lot of people outside of Red Hat to thank for that. What Red Hat must now do is to finish the job of making Fedora a true community project by publishing, and getting accepted, a governance model". "

    "I haven't paid attention to hostnames in forever"

    Anyone else think that sounds so goddamned arrogant? Sorry, but most of us take some pride and laugh about our naming schemes - movies, books, musicians, etc. It sounds like he's condescending to anyone who might be entertained by their hostname.

    Frankly, I thought it was an interesting and unique question and would've liked to know the answer.

    FYI - my home systems are named "SURESHOT," "ROOTDOWN," "BRASSMONKEY," and "REVERE" and the router was named "BEASTIE" (it was originally running... Get it? I always thought that was kinda cool.

    Huh? it goes company/product.
    Microsoft Windows
    Red Hat Linux

    What the hell was so wrong with that? The worst thing RH ever did was kill RH Linux. They now have a very limited community where they used to have incredible word of mouth and devoted supporters.

    Who is a bigger loser? The guy who reads and responds to an article on Slashdot or the asshat who has to respond to tell him he's a loser? Fag.
