Red Hat Coffee Hour with Michael Tiemann

Join us as we sit down with Michael Tiemann, Red Hat’s former Vice President of Open Source Affairs, who is a true open source software pioneer. Every week, for more than 10 years, Michael Tiemann was one of the first people to welcome new associates to Red Hat. As the founder of the world's first open source software company, Cygnus Solutions, Tiemann provided these new hires with a grounding in open source history, but also open source currency as it related to Red Hat's strategy and opportunities for individual success at Red Hat. Michael will discuss why and how enterprise leaders are choosing the open source development model and technologies built with this model to transform their enterprise and differentiate their business. He’ll share the history of open source, dispel its myths and share its many benefits, give examples of how it is being used today, and explain why it is gaining in popularity. You’ll learn how to harness its power for success in a world where fear, uncertainty, and doubt continue to prevent people and companies from reaching their true potential.
