Red Hat CEO At LinuxCon: I Have No Idea What?s Next

linwJim Whitehurst, CEO of Red Hat, just delivered a terrific opening keynote presentation for LinuxCon. Whitehurst isn't just a businessman, he's also a geek. He used Linux and open source before joining Red Hat, and the opportunity to be CEO of the world's most successful open source company was a dream come true for him. After a quick summary of some of the major milestones Linux has seen over the last twenty years, he jumped into the heart of his keynote: what's next? Whitehurst wasted no time in answering this question: "I have no idea." This is a somewhat uncommon response from a CEO, but it makes perfect sense for anyone even moderately familiar with Linux. Linux has seen so much growth in so many markets that it is almost a foolish exercise to try to make predictions about what's next for Linux. Nevertheless, he had some thoughts about what the OS and ecosystem might soon be enabling.
