If you answer 'yes' to any of the following, you should think about attending this year's Red Hat Summit.
Many businesses are choosing to run Linux servers — perhaps yours is one of them. Attend the Summit by yourself, or take advantage of our group rates and send your entire team. Network with others facing the same infrastructure needs, or take your questions straight to the source of your applications and services. Get a demonstration of products you might wish to deploy down the road. And if you're still on the fence, but think Linux might be the right for you, there are plenty of Red at staff and partners to help figure out the details.
Then come hang out with them in real life. During the day, you can listen to talks from the pros: Havoc Pennington, Rik van Riel, and Chris Blizzard. And at night? Mix and mingle with the crowd, or hole up in a hotel room for an all-night hack session. Check out the sweet system your favorite Gnome developer is rocking, or gather a few tricks and tips from your favorite gurus. Get the latest info on the hottest projects — Mugshot, kernel development, One Laptop per Child, and more.
RHCEs are a special group. And you're treated special at the Summit. From RHCE only receptions and activities, to RHCE branded gifts and awards. Plus, you'll get to meet and network with people who share your passion for open source.
Recruiters and representatives from Red Hat and other vendors will be actively pursuing qualified candidates. Are you one of them? Jon Benedict was. Jon attended the Summit and now works for Red Hat. Read more about his experience.
If you download music, record television on a DVR, or have a business plan that involves intellectual property and copyright, then you know that the open source revolution is about far more than just programming. One of the most popular tracks at the Summit brings together lawyers, educators, executives, and engineers to discuss the legal and philosophical challenges facing the tech industry. Digital rights management, licensing, trademark, and copyright are far more likely to control the next generation's opportunities than innovation is. Find out why, and what you should be doing to keep your company moving forward.
The Summit is the perfect place for executives and other leaders to stretch their legs and open their minds. In a casual and creative environment, hear industry movers talk about their business strategy. Rub elbows with members of the tech press. Get the inside story on the newest innovations. And, we hear there's some mad fine golfing in town.
Red Hat extends the same student pricing to educators — the $999 price tag is just one tip of our hat to the teachers that inspired us all. Red Hat Summit will help you brush up on the latest technology, and give you a chance to collaborate with other teachers or join forces with business partners. See what's out there, for you and your students.
Take advantage of the student rates while you still can. Show us your current student ID and attend for just $999. The student rate still includes everything — 3 days and 3 nights at a swanky hotel and admission to all meals, parties, sessions, and events. Polish up your resume and bring a clean shirt — you might just meet someone you want to work with after graduation.
