Red Hat, the company with 3 CEOs in 3 years (after just 2 CEOs for two decades)

Getting to know Prem Pavan, general manager for Red Hat Growth and Emerging Markets (GEMs)

Summary: Red Hat seems to be crumbling; not only has it lost the community, it also lost a lot of important engineers (the layoffs aside) and countless managers, even high-level executives, who quietly left (Red Hat made that more apparent when it appointed replacements... sometimes people from Microsoft, which helps explain tasteless company policies, betraying what the company originally stood for)
