This press note it’s very impressing for me, and it’s not for the success story with a bank in Spain but because very often customers in Spain don’t allow you to disclose your work with them. So the fact Red Hat is doing business with a bank in Spain is good news, but making it public it’s a double win!
I know some guys inside Red Hat Spain, and I know they’re working in some awesome projects (believe me when I say awesome, and Fedora it’s involved in this awesomeness), but the customer doesn’t allow Red Hat saying it in public.
I think this is a big deal, because we all know the success stories of the privative software vendors, but we need to know that free software is for real and that there are real solutions working out in the real world.
We know all companies look for the business, but as free software advocate and supporter I feel it’s a pity nobody knows that the free software it’s kicking ass.
So congratulations for Red Hat, and keep on rocking (even we don’t really know how much you’re rocking!).
