Red Hat employees thousands of open source developers, who in turn develop on hundreds of projects. Developers are encouraged to go and explore new stuff. New projects can form anywhere under loose guidelines (e.g. GitHub, Eclipse, Apache, JBoss community are fine - its really is up to that community). Red Hat is a pretty unique company, with a very unique open culture. They have one rule for their products - they have to be completely open source. In that environment, it would be surprising if developers weren’t encouraged to innovate new things.
