      My guess is that the summit will be primarily trying to convince people that they are still relevant.

      Probably so. Last year's summit was more cheerleading than training for me. I still enjoyed the content though, even if much of it was product demos.

        Hard to believe that they are bothering to still have a summit. The meeting of "inconsequential" Linux.

        How long do we think Red Hat will still even be a thing now that IBM seems to be reconsidering their place in their ecosystem. My guess, Red Hat's days are numbers. Long but numbered. They never quite fit IBM's vision and IBM is definitely not seeing them as the valuable product that they did a year ago.

        You might find this interesting if you haven't already read it.

          Yeah, I've seen all that. To me it all reads the same: IBM doesn't see Red Hat as strategic and they are taking the first step of redirecting investment towards somewhere else because to them, Ubuntu has already won and it isn't a fight worth investing in.

            I can see how it appears that IBM itself has surrendered to Canonical. It seems like there were (are) two problems happening at the same time. 1. IBM's focus. 2. Disarray within RedHat about whatever its priorities are, which is likely caused by #1.

              That's what IBM was like when I was there. It was a cluster fudge. Internally IBM wouldn't touch anything that they had made because they didn't trust it (and for good reason.) And for me, that makes RHEL toxic. I know how IBM views support and with RHEL being an IBM product, I could never defend it honestly in a business. RH was a toxic culture before IBM bought them. IBM is nice people, RH was not. But IBM can't do support to save their lives and I would never compromise my integrity to claim that I could consider anything with their name on it to be "supported." That puts RH in the tough position of having nothing I could qualify as support, while also being a toxic entity on its own. Combine that with abandoning their core product and the value of the IBM/RH ecosystem is like so insanely negative.

                    Just registered for Red Hat Summit 2021. It's a free virtual conference again this year in April and June.

                    I keep registering but end up watching the recordings instead. To busy to participate during live session.

                        Upgrading my brothers HP 2000 notebook from Windows 8 to Windows 10..
                        He called me because he couldn't get it to boot, got it to finally boot after changing the boot order, but this thing is disgustingly slow. and errors keep popping up about disk failures and now I lost the hard drive completely in the Boot Order.. LOL
                        Probably just going to push them towards chrome books (this is for school.. after all)

                                            Client was managing (OK not really) their own domain names - let it expire, more than 10 days ago...
                                            Amazingly google hangs onto expired domains for a seemingly long period of time.

                                            more amazing, no one at the client (only 3 users) realized they weren't getting any external email.
