Alan Cox Leaves Red Hat, Joins Intel
An email on December 23, 2008 from Alan Cox explains his move from Red Hat to Intel:
Subject: Moving on from Red Hat
I will be departing Red Hat mid January having handed in my
notice. I’m not going to be spending more time with the family,
gardening[1] or other such wonderous things. I’m leaving on good terms

“I have no objection to funding the business for another three to five years,” he said in a conference call Monday. “I certainly have the patience to see us through any downturn. I think this downturn is going to be very good for Canonical…Canonical is not cash-flow positive, but our offering is very effective for those who want to pinch their pennies.”
and this one in particular:
“If we needed to, we probably could be profitable in two years,” by focusing on the core operations such as the server version, he said.

Red Hat’s “Network Satellite Server”, now called “Spacewalk” for the community.
However, RHN Satellite services will still be available for Red Hat clients while “Spacewalk” will be community driven. One could think of these two titles as the RHEL and Fedora of the satellite and proxy offerings for systems management and provisioning.

Open Source Practice Management Software
I have long been involved in the development of php based ERP/CRM/CMS software. It has always been curious to me why more professionals such as Lawyers, Nurses, Doctors, and even Consultants have such as small representation in the world of free and/or open source practice management software.
