Red Hat Summit -- the unofficial start of summer technology discussions and the official conference for all things open source -- begins tomorrow. For attendees, there are a handful of links to keep handy so that you can hit the sessions, booths, demos, and after-hours events that make Summit so awesome.
Even if you can't attend this year (or since, realistically, no human being can attend everything going on at Summit), here is a round-up of social media channels and people to follow so you can dip your toe into the Summit experience.
**NEW** Interesting Personal Accounts
A lot of the people presenting at Summit or working in the DevZone and Partner booths have a social media presence all their own. It's definitely worth tracking what they're doing at Summit, and after. A handful:

- Claus Ibsen - @davsclaus
- Edson Yanaga - @yanaga
- Gordon Haff - @ghaff
