Honoring the spirit of collaboration, this event brought together many contributors: Global Learning Service leadership, Opensource.com evangelists, technology hiring managers and Red Hat Academy Alumni and representatives from across the southeast.
OPEN SOURCE AND THE OPEN ORG
Jason Hibbets the Senior Evangelist of opensource.org, shared the story of opensource and how the Open Organization book was developed. His story was a strong start of the event and a way to empower our education leaders on the power of open source and the Red Hat Academy.
RED HAT ACADEMY PARTNERSHIP
Ken Goetz and John Allessio were a dynamic duo in highlighting how the Red Hat Academy partnership is a “win, win” for both Red Hat and the academic institutions. This partnership works to bridge the skills gap between industry and education.
RED HAT MANAGER PANEL SESSION
IT managers from The Red Hat Global Support Services and IT Technology groups shared their input and opinions on what they look for in IT candidates to fill positions on their team. Great insights were shared on skills that are important to an IT team, what they look for in terms of fitting the “Red Hat way” and how the Red Hat Academy can help them find qualified candidates.
