Thursday, 5:30pm, 254TMCB. http://www.acm.byu.edu/calendar.php#e1111710600 Hm, I dunno about this Tom Karren guy: http://66.102.7.104/search?q=cache:AzNMMO4gRSsJ:www.varbusiness.com/components/search/Article.asp%3FArticleID%3D24012+%22tom+karren%22+open+source&hl=en Critics and rivals of Red Hat, the leader in Linux software shipments, like to point out that aligning with the company is anything but cheap. They're right, of course, but they're at a loss as to why so many companies join the Red Hat fray. [...] Other solution providers have noticed the same. WingateWeb, a Salt Lake City-based Web integration company, recommends Red Hat Linux to certain customers, though its preferred partner of choice in the Linux market is Caldera. "Caldera does a better job of helping us out," says Tom Karren, founding partner and director of consulting services, "but it's Red Hat for some situations where the brand has weight." When recommending Red Hat, WingateWeb usually goes for a "cheaply licensed version," Karren says, and then tweaks the compiler to get what it needs. Others do variations of the same. They might be inclined to work more closely with the company, however, if Red Hat's programs weren't so expensive. Joining the Red Hat Certified ISV program, for example, costs $3,500. That's every year, too. Further, the program fees don't include Red Hat Software Certification or Red Hat Certified Engineer (RHCE) training.
