Red Hat Summit and DevNation are this week in San Francisco. There will be over 200 sessions and labs, along with exhibits and demos in the pavilion, partner presentations, coding events, and (of course) contests and swag.

Take a tour of the red carpet.

It can be hard to keep track of everything, so this is something of a cheatsheet to sessions and social media sites that have a running commentary on what's what.

Social Media Sites to Follow

  • Hashtags to follow: #JBossEAP, #RHSummit, #DevNation

Summit Sites

There is a very cool social page on the Summit site, which allows you to pick a social media platform, and see the latest posts there. Definitely book mark that.
