-- Since Warren is very good at downplaying his role in this project, I'd like to let the cat out of the bag and share the memo I just received from Matthew Szulik, CEO and President of Red Hat Corporation. (see attached PDF of memo) While I'm sure everyone knows about Fedora by now, this is the first official acknowledgement I've gotten from Red Hat. We are now the proud owners of a Red Hat Corporation Red Fedora (See it along with the original memo in the POST 3rd floor glass case) to commemorate Warren Togami's role in helping to launch the Fedora version of Red Hat Linux. In a nutshell, Red Hat needed to split their commercial version of Linux from the free community based version. The answer came in the form of Warren Togami's ICS499 project called Fedora. (Matthew Szulik explains it better in the memo) This last month I was able to attend the LinuxWorld conference in San Francisco and as a courtesy I introduced myself at the Fedora booth. Instant recognition of UH, the ICS Department and Warren Togami followed and I was mobbed by well wishers thanking us for the effort. So please join me in an internet round of applause... =D> /brian chee University of Hawaii ICS Dept Advanced Network Computing Lab 1680 East West Road, POST rm 311 Honolulu, HI 96822 808-956-5797 voice, 877-284-1934 fax
