Judging Open Source innovation with Red Hat
Red Hat has announced their Red Hat Innovation Award winners this AM, it's a process that I was invited to participate in as a Judge this year. I got to see all of the raw applications from companies and groups hoping to win recognition for their innovative use of Open Source technologies. While some of the final winners are the same as what I voted highly some were not the ones I personally had rated the highest.
I guess I have a slightly different view of innovation than some of the other judges (though not much since I ranked all of the winners highly). But first let's talk about the winners that I do agree with.
Nortel won in the 'Delivered Value' category. Nortel which I personally did not know as a Linux user, actually manages some 2,000 machines with Red Hat Network Satellite server. The application that I saw from Nortel wasn't just a 'oh we needed a solution then chose Red Hat' - it was more a case of Nortel had a need and Red Hat created a solution for them.
So wanna know who I had tops in the creativity category?
