@carlwgeorge @GordonMessmer @benblasco ohai, I don't check twitter much (Maston is much more pleasant), but I will say I have mad respect for people who take the trouble to be informed, then call it like they see it. Carl does this. Also, I've even seem him integrate new information into prior opinions. Amazing!

@vathpela @halfline @katzj It's easy to forget that for the early half of its life, the viability of Red Hat was perpetually in doubt: The licensing model (groklaw/SCOX), enterprise support (Oracledb+++), RHL->RHEL, competition (JBOSS->Oracle---), missteps (RHX/108/mugshot/etc). Skepticism abounded.

@vathpela @halfline @katzj So yeah, this isn't the first time, and along the way we came dangerously close to doing it a whole lot more. I remember one quarter a huge Cygwin buyout license by Sun Microsystems at EOQ was pivotal in keeping the division afloat.

@amye We went to the coast. It's good here. Very good.

EPEL9 launched five and a half months ago. Today, @RHEL 9 was released. In that time EPEL9 has grown to 5764 packages (from 2678 source packages) built by 249 different @fedora packagers. 📦🎉🤩

@BrideOfLinux @acruiz The interesting question is not whether IBM did or didn't influence the decision (they didn't), but why Red Hatters are so irritated by the suggestion every time it comes up.

@jzb No, I don't expect protests to do anything: Lawmakers are not moved by conscience. We have to do that which is motivational.

Brno will no remove the Putin statue. According to the town hall it's actually a clock.

@FunnelFiasco Ben, this could be you.

[Brendan Conoboy @BConoboy]

@FunnelFiasco Also, what's the LD50? Get a less than that.

@FunnelFiasco I have 3 and I am overwhelmed!

The EPEL Next repo is already paying dividends, allowing @AlmaLinux 8.4 users with KDE installed to upgrade to 8.5 sooner. This is only possible because of @CentOS Stream. So awesome to see.

@johannbg @Det_Conan_Kudo @RedHat Developed, as in additional training, opportunities, responsibilities and so forth. It is a key aspect of career progression. Couldn't disagree more about individuals being expendable. That is some seriously toxic thinking.

@suehle Pixel 6 launch is tomorrow, let's see what happens. I have an S21 Ultra and its GPS is a little screwy.
