“Get over it people. Red Hat is not getting acquired
anytime soon. I know, I know, you’d heard all the rumors. Here’s
the truth as I see it: If Red Hat gets acquired anytime soon, I’ll
eat my fedora. It’s not happening.

“What is happening, as Paul Cormier, EVP of Red Hat, announced
this morning is that Red Hat spelled out more about its cloud
strategy. Sorry, I know that’s not a tenth as exciting as an
acquisition, but it’s just not in the works right now.

“What is in the works is that Red Hat has spelled out more about
its Red Hat Cloud Foundations. Red Hat’s plan is to provide
companies with an infrastructure “capable of delivering an open
source, flexible cloud stack, incorporating operating system,
middleware and virtualization.”
