2021: Virtual meetings and real-life achievements
We made it through another year of mostly virtual meetings. The virtual fatigue was real, but so were the achievements in open source in 2021.
In April and June, we staged our 22nd overall and second fully virtual Red Hat Summit. While we missed gathering in person, 43,712* session views from around the globe prove that virtual conferences can provide greater reach and easier access—and that's a win for everyone involved.
In August, open source enthusiasts celebrated 30 years of the Linux kernel and the second version of the GNU General Public License (GPLv2). Without GPLv2’s tenets, it’s unlikely Linux would have made it all the way to Mars.
Back on planet Earth, climate change was a hot topic in 2021 (pun very much intended). In September, Red Hat joined OS-Climate, an open source project that aims to build the tech and data platforms needed to better assess climate risk and opportunity as elements of financial decision-making.
October brought another all-virtual conference in AnsibleFest, which included the general availability of Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform 2. And while we’re on the subject of product announcements, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.5 made its debut in November.
When we weren’t connecting virtually or releasing new product versions, we launched Compiler (our new podcast), Red Hat Weekly News and Red Hat TV.
So, despite working in sweatpants for yet another year, we still got a lot done. In this end-of-year issue, check out the top 10 Red Hat Shares stories from 2021, Red Hat’s 2022 Global Tech Outlook, how open source can help with supply chain security and more.
