Red Hat announced its flagship events for 2007, including the Red Hat Summit 2007, JBoss World 2007 and FUDCON 2007. Red Hat is designing these events to encourage content-driven agendas for the company's various constituencies and customers and to add further value to the deployment and development of open source solutions. Each venue will engage audiences and help attendees to gain insight into the latest open source technologies, trends and issues.
"Red Hat Summit, JBoss World and FUDCON are three events where lead users and lead developers can discuss their respective agendas for open source development, deployment and innovation. Customers can learn new ways to drive costs out of infrastructure from some of the best and most innovative practitioners in the world. Developers and contributors can gain a better perspective on what technologies will make the biggest impact in their work and lives," said Michael Tiemann, Vice President of Open Source Advocacy at Red Hat. "Active participation is key for attendees to realize full value of attending events. Feedback from past events confirms that engaging with peers, partners and industry experts helps attendees complete their open source experience and gives them the tools for even greater success with open source technologies."
