From the early days

of “Shrek,” “Shrek 2”

and “Madagascar” to

upcoming films such

as “How to Train

Your Dragon,” cloud

computing and early

variants of it have

been crucial to pro-

viding DreamWorks

with the compute

resources required

to create its award-

winning animations.

Don’t miss the visionary keynote address

by Derek Chan, Head of Digital Operations

for DreamWorks Animation, as he shares

key insights into the animation studio’s use

of cloud computing.

DreamWorks and Red Hat have part-

nered for many years in the Linux commu-

nity to define and drive Linux to achieve

high-grade commercial reliability and qual-

ity that’s unmatched in the industry. The

collaboration has resulted in solutions

and technologies that are helping to not

only drive the animation industry, but the

next wave of the computing industry too.

DreamWorks continues to be a shining

example of innovation among its peers

in the animation industry, no more evi-

dent than now with its utilization of cloud

computing.

Chan joined DreamWorks in 1996 and in

WELCOME RECEPTION

CME Group is the world’s largest and most

diverse derivatives exchange. Building

on the heritage of the Chicago Mercan-

tile Exchange, Chicago Board of Trade,

and New York Mercantile Exchange,

CME Group serves the risk management

needs of customers around the globe. The

group processes millions of transactions

per day, and in 2008, its volume totaled 3.3

billion contracts worth $1.2 quadrillion in

notional value.

CME Group previously relied on a pro-

prietary UNIX operating platform for its IT

systems, but due to increasing costs, they

began looking for affordable, high-perfor-

mance alternatives in order to reduce costs

and increase performance, reliability, scal-

ability, and agility of the systems on which

its critical trading platforms handle billions

of derivatives trades per year, worth more

than a quadrillion in notional value.

CME Group decided to migrate its Sun

Solaris on SPARC servers to Red Hat

Enterprise Linux on x86-based servers,

and achieved reduced latency, expanded

flexibility, delivered a twofold increase in

performance, ease of migration and man-

agement, increased scalability, and reduced

cost by 50%. To assist with the migration

CME Group leveraged hands-on Red Hat

Training courses and a Red Hat Technical

Account Manager (TAM), who offers ad-

ditional, ongoing Red Hat expertise to the

exchange’s IT team.

CME Group today works closely with

Red Hat’s performance teams to demon-

strate workloads and tune systems and col-

laborates with Red Hat for future product

developments. Given the history and part-

nering with Red Hat, CME is considering

extending that partnership to JBoss Enter-

prise Middleware technology.

“Our technology partnership with

Red Hat is key to us staying competitive in

the market. We look to Red Hat for tech-

nology leadership through updates and

support that help us to improve our tuning

so that we can give our customers the best

possible experience,” said Joe Panfil, man-

aging director of Enterprise Technology

Services at CME Group.

To read the full CME case study and see

more Red Hat case studies, visit:

customers.redhat.com.

At JavaOne we announced our ground-

breaking JBoss Open Choice strategy. This

approach will give our customers a platform

to support developer choice and provide a

consistent foundation to support the wide

variety of Java programming and compo-

nent models, including plain old Java ob-

jects (POJOs), Java EE, Spring Framework,

OSGi, Google Web Toolkit and a variety of

rich internet Application frameworks.

Today we are delivering on that strategy

by announcing the availability of JBoss

Enterprise Application Platform 5.0. This

core middleware component represents

next-generation Java application platforms

and will be integral to Red Hat’s cloud

foundation.

What is unique is that the platform spans

the growing number of operating models,

from traditional on-premise lightweight

Java applications, to newer internal and ex-

ternal cloud-based deployments. Custom-

ers will benefit from easier application de-

velopment, deployment, developer choice,

protection against programming model

changes and an easier transition to newer

application deployment models.

“Not only have we delivered on our

JBoss Open Choice strategy by releasing

JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 5.0,

but we are driving the future of Java appli-

cation platforms from traditional to cloud-

based environments,” said Craig Muzilla,

vice president, middleware business unit,

Red Hat. “Ultimately, we are giving custom-

ers the flexibility to choose the right pro-

gramming and deployment models to stay

ahead of their competition.”

“...the platform spans the growing number of operating models, from traditional on-premise lightweight Java applications, to newer cloud-based

deployments.”

Also available in conjunction with the

release of JBoss Enterprise Application

Platform 5.0 is the latest release of JBoss’

comprehensive management support,

JBoss Operations Network (ON) 2.3. JBoss

ON provides the ability to configure ap-

plication clusters in traditional and cloud-

based deployments as well as availability

and performance management across a

variety of operating environments.

form during the live JBoss World key-

note, or recorded versions available at

You’ve perfected your slides. You’ve re-

hearsed 728,391 times. You’re ready to

present at this year’s Red Hat Summit and

JBoss World. Here are a few tips to remem-

ber before walking into your session room:

1. REHEARSE ONE LAST TImE. The best

presentation preparation is rehearsal. Try

to rehearse in front of a peer if possible.

If not, try your cab driver, a Hilton Chicago

bartender, a mirror.

2. REmEmbER THAT YOuR AuDIENcE

mAY NOT bE 100 pERcENT TEcHNIcAL

and is likely to include business profession-

als. Make sure to provide sufficient back-

ground information and elaborate on tech-

nical concepts so everyone is in the know.

3. LOOk gOOD. Don’t let your dress dis-

tract the message.

4. SLOw DOwN YOuR DELIvERY. Think

you’re talking too slow? Then you’re talking

at just the right pace.

5. gET TO kNOw YOuR AuDIENcE. Take

advantage of Red Hat Summit and JBoss

World networking opportunities and meet

the people who are attending your ses-

sion. And if possible, get to your session

early so you can speak with your session

attendees.

6. cONNEcT TO YOuR AuDIENcE. Try

to make eye contact with everyone in the

room. And if you can’t, make sure you scan

all sides of the room. Many presenters fo-

cus on one section, leaving more than half

of the audience out.

7. cREATE A DIALOguE wITH YOuR

AUDIENCE. Ask them questions, ask for

their opinions. One hour of being “talked

at” can feel like five hours.

8. bE AwARE OF YOuR gESTuRES.

Plan some. Control others.

9. SHOw YOuR ENTHuSIASm AND

PASSION for the subject matter. If you

look bored, your audience will be too.

Red Hat was an-

nounced as a found-

ing member of Open

Source for America

(OSA) in July. Since

OSA’s launch, more

than 1,000 companies, academic institu-

tions, open source communities, think tanks

and related groups and individuals have

joined Red Hat in promoting open source in

government through OSA. The coalition’s

mission is to serve as a centralized advo-

cate and to encourage broader U.S. federal

government support of and participation in

free and open source software.

There have been initiatives at the federal

level this year around openness, transpar-

ency and collaboration, starting with Presi-

dent Obama signing his transparency mem-

orandum just a few days after taking office.

This presented the perfect opportunity for

open source advocates to join together and

form OSA to help new technology leaders

in the government sector embrace open

source software.

“We believe that the U.S. federal gov-

ernment can and should become more

transparent, participatory, secure and ef-

ficient,” said Tom Rabon, vice president of

Corporate Affairs at Red Hat and a mem-

ber of the OSA steering committee. “And

we believe the government can do that by

leveraging the advantages of open source

software and the culture embodied in open

source communities.”

Red Hat has maintained a strong pres-

ence in Washington for many years and

has helped numerous government agen-

cies carve out IT costs, improve security

and increase efficiency from the U.S. Navy,

Army and Air Force to the Federal Aviation

Administration, Census Bureau and U.S.

Patent and Trademark Office.

OSA participation is open to any person

or entity signing OSA’s mission pledge. To

take the pledge, visit www.opensource-

foramerica.org. Follow OSA on Twitter at

twitter.com/opensourcegov.

CEOs and 88 partner participants can’t be

wrong! This year we are focusing more at-

tention than ever on our partner commu-

nity, and it shows in the strong attendance

at this year’s Red Hat Summit and JBoss

World. Our partners play a critical role in

the success of Red Hat, and we are taking

extra steps to recognize and thank them.

One way we are doing this is by launch-

ing the Red Hat Catalyst Program. This pro-

gram is aimed at leveraging all of Red Hat’s

routes to market through a collaborative

and innovative marketing program that

plans to include an interactive web portal

to facilitate the formation of a community

around Red Hat’s entire partner ecosystem.

Simply put—we are linking Red Hat’s fast-

growing community of partners, resellers,

system integrators, Independent Software

Vendors (ISVs) and hardware vendors in

order to foster collaboration around open

source-based solutions. The Catalyst Pro-

gram will formalize this process, encour-

aging and reinforcing the entire partner

ecosystem.

“Industry reports estimate the total eco-

system spend around open source to be

more than $30 billion and growing. This

includes hardware, software and services,”

said Roger Egan, vice president, North

American Channel Sales, Red Hat. “There is

no doubt that partners with an open source

business practice are positioning them-

selves to take advantage of this market op-

portunity. The Catalyst program is designed

to help our entire ecosystem leverage this

business opportunity and deliver greater

value to customers through solutions built

on Red Hat technologies.”

ners and ISVs, visit one of our participating

sponsors in the Catalyst Pavilion at the Red

Hat Summit and JBoss World. For more

Red Hat certifications have been touted

as among the best in the IT industry.

Our commitment to performance-based

testing has led to a high-quality program

earning recognition and awards. In fact, IDC

recently took notice of Red Hat’s strength

in training and certification and ranked

Red Hat as the leader in a competitive anal-

ysis that measured vendor product, go-to-

market and business execution in the short

term in addition to alignment of vendor

strategies with customer requirements in a

three- to five-year timeframe.

Yesterday we announced the latest addi-

tion to our impressive certification lineup—

JBoss Certified Application Administrator

(JBCAA). Red Hat is responding to inter-

est in its open source middleware solu-

tions. Red Hat customers are looking to

the company to help them maximize their

JBoss Enterprise Middleware deployments

and optimize their strategic investments.

JBCAA can help Red Hat customers and

partners get the most from Red Hat de-

ployments.

With the launch of JBCAA, this industry-

acclaimed certification program spans

platform and middleware technologies.

JBCAA is the only performance-based

certification in its category, continuing on

Red Hat’s tradition of benchmarking the

skills of IT professionals through hands-on

skills assessments. This approach to test-

ing is markedly different from the multiple-

choice testing prevalent among many IT

certification programs. The new certifica-

tion extends that tradition. Those earning

JBCAA accreditation will have demonstrat-

ed the skills and knowledge needed to in-

stall, configure, monitor and manage JBoss

Enterprise Application Platform and deploy

applications to it.

“JBCAA is the only performance-based certification in its

category, continuing on Red Hat’s tradition of benchmarking the

skills of IT professionals through hands-on skills

assessments.”

The JBCAA certification is expected

to be globally available in October 2009.

Other certifications in Red Hat’s portfolio

include Red Hat Certified Engineer (RHCE),

Red Hat Certified Technician (RHCT), Red

Hat Certificates of Expertise, Red Hat Cer-

tified Datacenter Specialist (RHCDS), Red

Hat Certified Security Specialist (RHCSS)

and Red Hat Certified Architect (RHCA).

Open source soft-

ware development

has been one of the

greatest sources of

innovation in the

technology industry.

Red Hat has a long

track record of sup-

porting FOSS and

has worked hard to

address the short-

comings of the pat-

ent system. Red

Hat has consistently

maintained that software patents impede

innovation and inhibit open source devel-

opment and distribution. All too often, the

use of patents in the software industry is

to maintain marketshare, even where the

marketshare has been obtained by anti-

competitive means.

Although patent law is intended to fos-

ter innovation, many believe it performs

this function poorly in the software area.

Wherever one stands in this debate, a basic

understanding of the existing patent sys-

tem is essential for anyone who is involved

with open source software. A number of

sessions will address issues relevant to in-

tellectual property and patent reform.

Check out Thursday’s session “The El-

ephant in the Room: Free Software and

Microsoft” which will touch on Microsoft’s

inconsistent course on patents and FOSS.

Thursday will also feature the session “Re-

cent Developments in the Law of Software

Patents” to help developers and business

leaders understand the baseline issues of

software patenting. Topics will include the

changing landscape for software patents,

the Bilski case now pending before the Su-

preme Court, open source community de-

fense measures, reform efforts and recent

case law developments.

On Friday, the session “The Challenge of

Patent Trolls — How to Contribute Prior Art”

will detail the background needed to assist

in the process of challenging patents. This

includes how to read a patent and how to

identify prior art useful in challenging a

particular patent’s validity. This session

will also discuss the Linux Defender pro-

gram, which has invited the public to put

this information to use by providing a fo-

rum in which people can submit prior art

and discuss its relevance to challenging the

validity of patents of interest to the open

source community.

Students at Carnegie

Mellon University no-

ticed a few changes

in the School of Com-

puter Science as they

kicked off the fall

semester this past

Monday. The university unveiled a new,

state-of-the-art, open source computer

laboratory courtesy of Red Hat and the

Fedora Project. The lab includes 60 work-

stations installed with Fedora and Red Hat

Enterprise Linux.

“...we wanted to ensure that open source

methodologies had a central presence in

our curriculum.”

“We couldn’t be happier about our part-

nership with Red Hat, and we are thankful

for their generous contribution that will

make the computer lab a reality,” said Greg

Kesden, SCS director of undergraduate

laboratories at Carnegie Mellon Univer-

sity. “We are dedicated to giving students

full exposure to the complete spectrum of

modern computer science development

practices and we wanted to ensure that

open source methodologies had a central

presence in both our curriculum and in our

new facility.”

Previously, the School for Computer Sci-

ence had a small Linux Lab which held 15

machines. The demand on the lab had out-

stripped its capacity, oftentimes with four

students sharing each workstation.

“The School of Computer Science at Car-

negie Mellon is one of the foremost com-

puter science institutions in the world, and

Red Hat is proud to partner with them in

the creation of an open source computer

lab,” said Michael Cunningham, execu-

tive vice president and general counsel at

Red Hat. “The need for an open source

software lab came from an overwhelming

demand from students and faculty, and

Red Hat’s involvement is a natural exten-

sion of our company’s historical involve-

ment in the education arena.”

The open source computer lab is housed

in the newly constructed Gates Center for

Computer Science, scheduled to be dedi-

cated on September 22. Carnegie Mellon

University has a long history in computer

science excellence and Red Hat’s grant will

enable the university to continue expand-

ing open source into its computer science

curriculum.

WELCOME RECEPTION PARTNER PAVILION

PARTNER PAVILION

Many of the most ef-

fective open source

development prac-

tices can be applied

by all Summit at-

tendees to make this

a truly collaborative

experience. These

principles aren’t

even a stretch at all.

In fact, when most

people picture open

source development,

they think about

über-geeks like Uli Drepper and Larry

Woodman, crouched over their keyboards

analyzing a program’s backtrace in hex in-

structions. Yeah, those guys are here, and

if you are so inclined, do approach them

and geek out all you wish.

Meanwhile, what is often less recog-

nized is that the true power of open source

comes from collaboration of a broad diver-

sity of participants. Also key to the cycle

are testers, writers, and a broad range of

other people who are sharing their practi-

cal experiences on what does and does not

work. Inspiration springs forth from many

different corners of the community. The

most productive discussions involve par-

ticipants who don’t hold back and tell it like

they see it.

With this in mind, while you are here at

the Summit, don’t consider yourself an

attendee — that is selling yourself short.

Rather, consider yourself an open source

collaborator. Share your views. Share them

agenda is to hear from you what tools are

meeting your business deployments and

where we can work together to harness the

power of the community to advance the

reach of open source further in your com-

pany. Don’t be shy. A key mantra of open

source development is “early and often.”

So jump right in from day one and become

part of a truly open Summit community.
