Dr. King once wrote "Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere." Those words have rang all too painfully true these last few weeks. Thank you
@ArvindKrishna
for making clear
@IBM
will not condone racism and will continue to fight discrimination.
Proud to join
@ArvindKrishna
and the entire
@IBM
team as we support our clients during this time of uncertainty. Together I am confident we will all emerge stronger.
Humbled to step into the role of
@IBM
CEO. Sharing my letter to IBMers today about our essential role in the world and the need for empathy and solidarity as we face this crisis together
Red Hat is still Red Hat. As we close the most significant tech acquisition of 2019, I want us to focus on the opportunity in front of us. Our unwavering commitment to open source - and all that it takes to bring it into the enterprise - is not changing.
Congratulations to Paul, a true pioneer in
#opensource
technology. It has been a privilege working with you
@RedHat
and I look forward to our continued partnership
@IBM
.
Today, we announced that Paul Cormier will assume the role of president and CEO of
#RedHat
. In the spirit of openness, we’ve published Paul’s email to associates on our blog:
26 years ago,
@RedHat
was a scrappy startup "sneaking" into data centers with boxed copies of a Linux-based operating system. Today, we're the leading provider of open source solutions for the enterprise hybrid cloud. We've evolved—and so has our logo.
From sinister and secretive Shadowman to "That feels like Red Hat," read how we navigated the challenge of developing the new logo the
#opensource
way in this blog from
@tbyeaton
:
#OpenBrandProject
I hope many of you will be joining us at tomorrow. There will be so many great sessions on how to navigate through
#disruption
. While I wish we could be in person, I am excited about gathering with our clients virtually to talk innovation.
@IBMLive
@IBM
I’m going to run an experiment -- a LinkedIn video series where I cover all things open: open cultures, open
#leadership
,
#opensource
, and more. First topic: innovation, at any company, starts with
#culture
.
No surprise to those of us who work here but it's always nice to see
@RedHat
recognized for our great workplace culture. Hats off to all the Red Hatters around the world who make this the special place it is!
This is what I hope people see as we enter this new chapter.
@IBM
and
@RedHat
share the same passion for technology and commitment to
#opensource
innovation.
As
#RedHat
's acquisition by
@IBM
closes, Red Hat will maintain independence and neutrality to give customers freedom, choice and flexibility. Get the news:

Congrats to all the teams who worked on this project. I remember when it was just an idea in a conference room! Red Hat Marketplace offers a curated selection of certified software, pre-approved for use. It's built on Red Hat OpenShift. Hope you'll check it out.
#RedHat
Marketplace is here. Check out the one-stop-shop to find, try, buy and manage enterprise applications across an organization’s entire IT infrastructure, including hybrid and
#multicloud
platforms.
Thank you
@satyanadella
and the entire
@Microsoft
team for your commitment to open source. We really can do more working together and I’m excited what this collaboration around
@openshift
brings to our customers.
Great to be with
@JWhitehurst
at the
#RHSummit
in Boston this evening. We’re committed to building Azure as an open platform, and our partnership brings together the open source expertise of Red Hat with the power of our cloud.
Feeling energized from yesterday's team and customer meetings at the Unity Copenhagen office where it all started. Now in Amsterdam for
#Unite2023
. Can't wait to see developers, customers, partners and employees there!
Proud doesn't even cover it!
@FortuneMagazine
has named
@RedHat
one of the 100 Best Companies to Work For. Thank you to the Red Hatters around the globe for the passion you bring every day. This is a direct reflection of your efforts.
Best advice I can give is find the strength to speak up if you have an idea, question, or comment. It takes a lot of courage to put yourself out there, especially in environments where you think you'll be challenged. However, the more you do it, the easier it gets.

Linux is where
@RedHat
started and it’s hard to believe we’re announcing
#RHEL8
! We’re bringing
#RHEL
to every enterprise, every workload and every cloud. Welcome to the future!
#RHSummit
There are many ways to motivate a workforce, from raises to recognition programs. But intrinsic motivation – the kind of motivation that endures – starts with a sense of
#purpose
. Check out my thoughts on the subject -
#AnOpenConversationWithJim
#redhat
exists because we believe being open unlocks the world’s potential. I’ve seen how open access to data is unlocking patients’ potential to improve their health. Who else has examples of how being
#open
has changed the world for the better?
Protecting our environment is of personal interest to me. Proud to see
@IBM
creating a space to allow for more innovation around
#ClimateChange
and doing it the
#opensource
way.
The announcements made today in
@arvindkrishna
Think keynote are a look into how
@ibm
is positioning for where technology is headed and what's needed to accelerate new adoption.
#Think2020
Open source really is more than technology. It's a way of thinking, a way of working, a way of collaborating that is having a profound impact on our world, whether people realize it or not.
Proud to see
@IBMorg
launch the
#OpenPandemics
initiative allowing you to donate your unused computer processing power to scientists researching potential COVID-19 treatments.
#GoodTechIBM
Sometimes, the best reason to do something is because it benefits the group—even if it doesn't immediately benefit ourselves. Working at
@RedHat
has made this lesson come alive for me.
Pumped for the new Command Line Heroes
#podcast
which is all about people who transform tech from the command line up. Launches Jan 16. I think you'll like the first 2-part episode. Thanks to the team for the swag!
I am so proud that
@RedHat
has been named to
@FortuneMagazine
Most Admired Companies list for the second year in a row. The power of open source continues to grow and this recognition is a testament to that.
As a leader, have you ever admitted you made a mistake? If not, your team is unlikely to take the calculated risks you are encouraging. Here what I mean and let me know what you think.
#AnOpenConversationWithJim
When is the last time you talked about
#values
at your company?
#Innovation
depends on a team’s interaction. The nature of those interactions are defined by a shared set of values. Do you know your org’s values?

Business Storage, Digital Transformation Product or Service, Infrastructure Product of the Year, Cloud Computing Provider, Technology Innovator of the Year
THANK YOU 🙏
#LifeAtRedHat
RHEL is where
#RedHat
was born and we've grown right alongside it.
#RHEL
is the foundation that so much emerging tech is built on and our latest release gives a taste of how Linux will continue to transform enterprise IT into the future.
$10 trillion. I’ll say again $10 trillion. Software and applications running on
#RHEL
are expected to contribute to trillions in global business revenues in 2019. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg.
#RHSummit
Did you know that software and
#apps
running on

Enterprise
#Linux
will touch $10 trillion of business revenues this year? Find out more in a new study from Red Hat and

It was a real privilege to join
#Think2019
as part of the keynote presentation yesterday. I enjoyed discussing the power of open source as a catalyst for business innovation. Thanks Ginni and the entire IBM team for having me!
Attended my first Red Hat OpenVoice
@Toastmasters
meeting today. It was great to see so many Red Hatters practicing their public speaking. It’s one of the most valuable skills and has really helped me throughout my career.
@RedHatJobs
Launched our Piece Out exhibit with
@MarblesRaleigh
this week. Really appreciate all they do to foster learning and curiosity in children (and adults!).
Had to stop by our
@RedHat
Open Innovation Labs experience for
#WARHW2019
. The way we co-create solutions with our customers is something few others can replicate.
The best
#leaders
are catalysts. They create the context for people to do their best work. Their goal is to get people to believe in their mission & create the right structures that empower people to achieve what someone used to think was impossible.
As a leader, your job is to orchestrate a team that together can accomplish what you could not do alone. In other words, you shouldn't be the smartest person in the room. Hear what I mean and let me know what you think.
#AnOpenConversationWithJim
Being a leader doesn’t mean you’re always right or you won’t err. It means you're accountable. I’ve found that leaders who show their vulnerability and admit that they are human, foster greater engagement among their people.

If you were at
#RHSummit
two years ago, you’ll remember Matt and Shannon, they got married on the Summit stage! Fun to run into them this year and get to wish them happy anniversary in person.

Thanks
@RedHat
Pride for all you do for our LGBTQ+ Red Hatters and allies!
#PrideMonth
reminds us of the importance of diversity and inclusion in our society, and the role leaders need to play in fostering and encouraging it within our organizations.
During
#PrideMonth
Red Hatters participated in celebrations around the world. Thanks especially to the members of
@RedHat
Pride who organized fantastic events to connect, support, and empower LGBTQ+ Red Hatters and allies!
Our partnership with Schlumberger is part of our big bet on hybrid cloud. Hybrid provides the technical setup companies need to manage data across multiple clouds in addition to their own on-premises.
Thanks to all the customers, partners, Red Hatters and everyone else who came out for
#RHSummit
. You made it a week to remember and I hope to see you next year in Boston!
Today I did an
#AMA
with
@RedHat
associates. Here was my setup - one laptop for posting answers, one for watching replies to the listserv, and one for watching my inbox.
Life at
@RedHat
has never been busier. Remembering to take regular time to stop, breathe, think, and strategize has become exceedingly important. Here's how I like to do it even when my schedule is jam-packed.
Today's piece from
@cnbc
on the Rise of Open Source Software is a great educational piece.
@github
CEO
@natfriedman
talks to how developers around the world can contribute to open source and that value to software development.
We just released the agenda for
#RHSummit
. Lots of great speakers this year and we're featuring more customers than ever on the mainstage. If you've never been before, this would be a good year to start!
It really was an amazing week at
#RHSummit
2019 and I can’t wait to see what we do next year. To all our partners, customers, associates, and community members that attended, thank you. Events like this remind us why we do what we do & the importance of
#opensource
in the world.
It was an honor to serve as a grand marshall of the 39th Annual MLK Memorial March with so many community leaders, and a real privilege to celebrate Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s legacy of respect, equality, diversity and commitment to peace with so many Red Hatters.
#MLK2019
Happy New Year indeed. I'm looking forward to what we can accomplish this year with our customers, partners, and the communities in which we participate.
.
@IBM
believed before many others and to have Ginni Rometty share our commitment going forward is a true testament to the importance of
#opensource
communities, development and culture. Thank you again for joining us Ginni.
Keynote rehearsal went well for
#MWC18
. It will be a real privilege to take the stage tomorrow during the "Foundations of the Digital Economy" session.
The essence of competitive advantage is now closely tied to an organization's ability to course correct, which requires teams to make decisions on the fly that are consistent with their org's strategy. See what I mean - .
#AnOpenConversationWithJim
Our new logo represents how
@RedHat

We Are Red Hat Week is my favorite week of the year. It’s where
@RedHat
associates come together around the world to celebrate our brand, culture, and people. But my favorite day is easily our Halloween party. The costumes never disappoint!
#WARHW2019
Every year I am humbled and energized by the customers and partners who join us at
#RHSummit
. This year is no different. The list of keynotes keeps growing and I can't wait for you to hear how they're using
#opensource
technology to solve their business challenges.
The
#opensource
approach has spread beyond tech to help combat some of society’s biggest issues - healthcare & education to
#AI
& environment. My hope is that more industries embrace a culture shift with limitless possibilities — w/out sacrificing speed, performance or security.
This week I’m sharing my thoughts on the importance of open debate and dialogue, and the dangers of “faux openness.” This is not about democracy. It’s more about being heard (not heeded).
