The Force Is With Red Hat
Red Hat has found a way to link open source with Star Wars. Sci-Fi Geeks across the galaxy must be celebrating. And Red Hat is set to more effectively navigate the digital entertainment universe. Here’s the scoop.
Micheline Chau, president and COO of Lucasfilm Ltd. — the George Lucas company behind Star Wars and a lengthy list of related entertainment activities — has joined Red Hat’s board of directors.
The move is more than symbolic. It reinforces the growing role of open source in the movie, online and digital gaming industries. A decade ago, most special effects were produced on big networks of Unix workstations. Today, Windows- and Linux-based systems are battling to dominate Hollywood special effects, online game development, and so on.
