“By its very nature, open source creates a community-oriented culture grounded in a set of shared beliefs regarding the development and use of software,” said Mike Piech, general manager, Middleware, Red Hat. “It’s prevalent in some of the most transformational areas of computing today, including big data, cloud computing, mobility, and social networking. Without the open source communities driving innovation, these technologies would not be where they are today. That’s what DevNation is about – developers coming together to teach, learn, and do – ushering in the next era of transformation and innovation.”
