Red Hat Inc., an open source and Linux provider, said Friday it would join forces with International Business Machines Corp. to help accelerate the development and adoption of Linux-based solutions in emerging markets.
The two companies will provide software developers in China, India, Russia, Korea and other nations with the technical resources needed to help them port and certify their new applications on IBM software and hardware and Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
As part of the move, Raleigh, N.C.-based Red Hat will provide independent software vendors with copies of Red Hat Enterprise Linux, and will facilitate onsite registration for its technology partner program to help them certify their applications. Additionally, IBM will offer Linux skill-building tutorials on developerWorks.
I've been interested in P2P since the early, high-flying days of Napster and KaZaA. I believe that analog copyright laws are ill-suited to the digital age, and that art and culture shouldn't be subject to the whims of international entertainment industry conglomerates. Twitter | Google Plus
