I attended my first ever Red Hat Summit last week and got the opportunity\u00a0to present as well. I also got the chance to meet my team in here after\u00a0interacting\u00a0with them for almost an year now.<\/p>\n

The summit got kick started with on 11th June with Jim’s keynote. Jim came on\u00a0the stage wearing \u00a0jeans. How cool is that !!!

Two take aways for me from his keynote were:-
\n1. Connect …<\/strong>
\nThis was the theme of the summit this year. Connect with different engineers, vendors,\u00a0community to write better code, \u00a0create a eco-system which can benefit all\u00a0the participants.<\/p>\n

2. Technology choice = Innovation choice.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In this era all the innovations are happening in open way.\u00a0Open innovations allows users to participate in the technology innovations. This can not happen in closed way. And the technology choice made by the companies, vendors now would lay down the innovations in coming years.<\/p>\n

I came to know that on 12th there is\u00a05K marathon\u00a0scheduled\u00a0for Summit\u00a0attendees\u00a0\u00a0<\/a>to honor\u00a0those who affected by the tragic events at the 2013 running of the Boston Marathon. \u00a0The venue for the Summit was on the very same to street. So,\u00a0I decided to participate on that and did it. It was great fun.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Later in day I attended\u00a0<\/span>Paul Cormier keynote<\/a>, which was was mostly focused on\u00a0\u00a0Open Hybrid Cloud. After that\u00a0I attended few talks and posted my visualization project about\u00a0collecting the performance stats from\u00a0different\u00a0Gluster nodes upstream\u00a0forge.gluster.org.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

My talk was scheduled on 13th June at 4:50 – 5:50 PM. After attending the\u00a0Brian Steven’s keynote \u00a0<\/a>\u00a0I mostly worked my presentation. I gave the talk with Ben and I think it went very well.<\/p>\n

After my talk Performance team went for the group party<\/a>. During that I got to\u00a0hear that how well I got mixed with the team, as it was like I have always been\u00a0working from here. Sometime\u00a0working\u00a0completely remotely from the team can be very\u00a0challenging. I was happy to hear that.<\/p>\n

Before leaving for the company party I met our CEO Jim\u00a0Whitehurst.\u00a0\u00a0The company party which was\u00a0sponsored by IBM. A band from Montreal Alter Ego performed<\/a> there.\u00a0They were awesome, everyone was on their feet.<\/p>\n

After the company party we went for Pub Crawling, in which we have to go six different\u00a0pubs and drink. I was with few of my team members and some other very senior guys. We\u00a0managed\u00a0to cover 3 pubs. Last pub was very live. I met our CTO, Brian Stevens there and\u00a0chatted with him. It was 2 AM when I returned back to the room.<\/p>\n

Last day of Summit just had few sessions in the morning. Most of attendees either\u00a0with had hangover from last night or have gone. The\u00a0attendance\u00a0was very low. \u00a0After all the sessions got over I went for group lunch with Red Hat Storage group.<\/p>\n

Overall it was a great experience. I got meet so many great people. I hope to participate in more such events.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
