Alan Cox is moving on from Red HatAlan Cox is moving on from Red HatPosted Dec 24, 2008 16:18 UTC (Wed) by dlang (✭ supporter ✭, #313)In reply to: Alan Cox is moving on from Red Hat by sbergman27 Parent article: Alan Cox is moving on from Red Hat
I'm puzzeled by these reactions.
it's not like Alan is the first, or even the tenth person Intel has hired to work on opensource projects, so this isn't an indication of any significant change in Intel, it's just one more person (admittedly one who has been extremely productive over the years).
when a company starts hiring opensource people for the first time, or makes a drastic increase in the size of the team I could see comments like this being warrented, but we don't make comments like this when RedHat or Novell hire one more developer (or even 10 more developers). for that matter Google could hire 100 more developers without earning comments like this.
is it just that people don't realize that Intel isn't a newcomer to opensource?
