For most of the last decade, whenever there has been major Red Hat Linux news, Brian Stevens more often than not has been the person I have spoken with. Until Aug. 27, Stevens had been the CTO of Red Hat, a position he had held since November 2001.
Stevens’ departure comes as a surprise to me—one that I did not see coming. Hindsight, however, is always 20/20, and the simple reality is that for a man as talented as Stevens, there are always other opportunities to consider.
