“Red Hat Inc. filed for its initial public offering (IPO) of
stock on June 4. For those who do not want to plow through the
entire filing, here is a list of highlights.”
“Red Hat’s strategy from the filing:
- “Continue to enhance their web site to “create the definitive
online destination for the open source community. - “Expand their professional service capabilities, aiming at
large corporate business. - “Increase market acceptance of open source software.
- “Continue to invest in the development of open source
technology. - “Enhance the Red Hat brand through advertising and PR
campaigns.
“Nowhere in the filing is anything about “make more money
selling our distribution.” Red Hat clearly sees its future
elsewhere.”
