schestowitz1. How has the economic climate affected Red Hat's performance? Has it been beneficial?Dec 19 21:56
schestowitz2. There have been numerous reports recently about Red Hat's expansion and relocations (e.g. http://www.bizjournals.com/triangle/news/2011/12/15/red-hat-cfo-we-have-a-plan-b-if.html ). How does Red Hat view the prospect of expanding in Europe, where software patents are less of a problem?Dec 19 21:56
schestowitz3. How can a community of Free/open source software enthusiasts ensure that Red Hat -- a key developer of pertinent components of the GNU/Linux operating system -- maintains growth?Dec 19 21:56
