Do you know the story behind our name? Our co-founder Marc Ewing used to wear his grandfather’s red Cornell lacrosse cap in his college computer lab, and people would say, "If you need help, look for the guy in the red hat." 

The tech industry is full of stories of lone geniuses, exaggerated for the sake of egos and investors. But innovation really happens when people help each other expand their possibilities, together.

In open source, collaboration shows you what you need to ask—and who. It’s not long before you find people to teach you. Pretty soon, you find yourself teaching others.

What does it mean to be a Red Hatter?

When you become a Red Hatter, you take up the responsibility to help each other and our customers.

Today, we are celebrating our origin story and brand mantra: "no one innovates alone.”

We are the keepers of the open source spirit. We wear the red hat. It’s more important than ever that we all understand this as Red Hat aspires to be the leader in yet another technological paradigm shift—first, it was Linux; now, it’s AI.

Be sure to watch the video about "the helpful person in the red hat" and learn more.
