Seriously, wtf Redhat?
Long term and by all accounts, valuable, employee makes a reasonable request for distance working and gets denied? What's more, them leaving has landed them with a serious problem about maintaining key software.
I've not been a big fan of Redhat for some years now, but that's a new IBM smelling low. Their best years are definitely behind them.
Nice. Good for him.
I first met Chris around 2006 or so. Always been a decent person and very dedicated OSS contributor.
During our in-person visa appointment in Seattle, a shooting involving CBP occurred just a few parking spaces from where we normally park for medical outpatient visits back in Portland. It was covered by the news internationally and you may have read about it. Moments like that have a way of clarifying what matters and how urgently change can feel necessary.
Our visas were approved quickly, which we’re grateful for. We’ll be spending the next year in France, where my wife has other Tibetan family. I’m looking forward to immersing myself in the language and culture and to taking that responsibility seriously. Learning French in mid-life will be humbling, but I’m ready to give it my full focus.
Sounds like a splendid person.
It's also a smart move considering that, with age-verification laws advancing, it looks like a good part of the Linux world will become with time another instrument of mass surveillance.
It's definitely the best way to learn a language, at least for me - throw yourself in and actually use it every day.
Merde, je suis jealoux.
foss is in a fragile state when no one with the technical expertise has the free time or motivation to play with it.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
