The Linuxworld Red Hat mystery
Red Hat may be dominating the world of corporate Linux, the company is a no-show at Linuxworld this year. The company declined to spend marketing dollars on a large showfloor booth. Instead it did some one on one interviews with clients and press in a nearby hotel and hosted a private reception.
The company itself is dodging questions on the subject, but speculations range from a fallout between Linuxworld organizer IDG to the fact the Linux vendor did its main announcements at the Red Hat Summit last May.
There is something to say for the latter explanation. But given the recent controversy surrounding Red Hat's support for the Xen virtualization technology (the company claimed that it wasn't ready for prime time yet and then retracted that statement) and the Jboss acquisition, it has plenty to explain.
