Red Hat is the most recognized and trusted provider of open source technology. We use the power of massive collaboration to create software used by some of the world's largest companies. We build our technology using the open source model. We built our business around the open source way.
We believe open source represents not only a better way to build software, but a more open, collaborative, innovative way of working. It's core to our culture. It's also one of the key reasons why our technology runs the New York Stock Exchange, and why Red Hat has grown to become an S&P 500 company.
First open source changed the world of software. Now it's changing the world.

Feedback is a gift
Written by DeLisa Alexander and originally published on OpenSource.com. This is the fourth in a series exploring the things I have learned from the open source way during my journey with Red Hat. Think about some of the gifts you’ve received in the past year. Some of those gifts probably were wrapped beautifully and brought you great joy and surprise.
