#RedHat

Is Ubuntu used a lot in Europe for business purposes? In the US I get weird looks for talking about it. A lot of recruiters and interviewers thinks Linux = Red Hat. I have seen one business use Ubuntu. Also I live in the middle of the country.

Red Hat certainly contributes greatly to Fedora in other ways, but direct maintenance of a specific package or set of packages is not a reliable indicator of Red Hat's overall investment. Fedora is going to be just fine.

I've been seeing lots of "the sky is falling" takes around Red Hat pulling out of LibreOffice RPM maintenance in Fedora. Here's a reality check: the vast majority of packages in Fedora are not maintained in an official capacity (i.e. part of their job) by Hatters. That's because only a small subset (~10%) of Fedora packages make it into RHEL. Currently RHEL 9 has 6,501 RPMs (from 2,393 SRPMs), while Fedora 38 has 60,807 RPMs (from 23,281 SRPMs).

#Redhat is doing another #systemD and doubling down on #Walyand by dropping #LibreOffice, because apparently editing images is more important than editing documents. #mywayorthehighway #debian is sure to follow again

@cassidy @LWN There is a lot to see here: who will maintain and support that Flatpak? Will RH clients still get paid support of it? What will happen to Caolán, David, and other #RedHat #LibreOffice developers?

Let's put it across bluntly, what business does a userspace utility have in the server??? And RHEL is targeted and used in servers. Soo..

I am not sure about the #fedora elimination but for #RHEL it is fine.

The Linux community used to complain about Ubuntu and its development around snapd. Well, Red Hat, in fact, does the same thing. The difference is that flatpak has a good reputation and is not slow. Although, the trend goes on. I can see something like "The Arch Way" of managing packages in the old-school manner as a movement within a decade! 😹

Ps. Last one is a joke, btw

Aquí hay dos cosas, una la veo bien y la otra, si es cierta, bastante mal.

Que #RHEL deje de suministrar #LibreOffice en formato RPM a través de sus repositorios para delegarlo en #Flatpak no lo veo mal.

Sin embargo, espero que esto no ponga fin a la contribución de #RedHat a LibreOffice, ya que la compañía es una de las partes que más aportan. https://www.muylinux.com/2023/06/02/red-hat-libreoffice-rpm/

Does anybody know if it’s possible to get #redhat to mark a cve as disputed? Or even to downgrade it?

Specifically, CVE-2020-15779 which Qualsys has decided to mark as a critical vulnerability and some IT Security people who don’t know what they are doing insist need to be “fixed” even though Red Hat refuses to make changes to the package even for RHEL 8.

https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/cve-2020-15778
Even NIST notes that it’s disputed

Selon le PDG de #RedHat les licenciements sont une chose saine qu'il faut faire de temps en temps.

C'est un manque de respect flagrant sa part à l'égard des #redhatters récemment licenciés non pas pour des raisons économiques ou stratégiques mais à cause de l'incompétence et de la cupidité des dirigeants de RedHat

Virer les patrons est une chose saine qu'il faut faire de temps en temps.

Yesterday we announced 🦭 #Podman Desktop 1.0's release from the #RedHat Summit. Podman Desktop is a developer-oriented, free and open source container tool that can help you deploy your apps to Kubernetes. It is cross-platform, supporting Linux, Mac OS, and Windows.

I work on UX for this tool and would love to hear your feedback so we can make it a better tool for you :-)

All of the details for the 1.0 release are here:

I'm confident that #Fedora will continue to thrive in spite of the damage done by upper management at #RedHat and #IBM because it's the community that drives Fedora's innovation. Unfortunately, Red Hat doesn't seem to see that "value" as much as the rest of the Fedora community, based on their recent lay offs of key Fedora and open source community members.

I'm continually amazed by the #Fedora community, but admittedly having trouble processing a certain mistrust for #RedHat right now in light of recent layoffs and comments from #IBM's CEO about replacing people with AI. I'm legit angry about the harm done to Fedora and the #opensource world by some clearly out of touch suits and grieved by the human cost of those decisions on people who most certainly did not deserve it.

Reflecting on an argument I've had with a #RedHat evangelist about the positive/negative contributions of that company to FOSS, I think I can summarize my position very well.

The point of view that it's all about how much FOSS is created, and how viable the wider industry sees it is insufficient.

The only point of view that matters is how broadly the needs of the entire FOSS community are represented.

It's the people, stupid.

I didn't tell him I was going to do this, but I recently found out @quaid was impacted by the #RedHat layoffs. Karsten was a major part of my involvement in #Fedora, especially since I moved to California and was just getting started as a Fedora Ambassador back in 2009. Over the many years I've known him, I've got to see him thrive at bringing people into the #opensource world and fostering a sense of belonging and hospitality.

It seems the IBM induced layoffs that hit Red Hat have had an impact on OpenSource.doc. Quoting from the os.com mailing list:

"The Opensource.com website will remain live, and any articles already in the queue to get published will go live - but the website itself will go idle after that. So no new articles on Opensource.com"

so... yeah
