This issue is very near and dear to our hearts. We're talking all about the Red Hat Summit coming this June to the friendly and fun city of Nashville. But words just weren't enough for us to express our sentiments. You'll find a photo tour of the city with almost as much emphasis on music as Nashville itself. Within the featured articles, you'll also get a glimpse into one Red Hatter's experience last year at the Summit and how just attending landed him a job with us.
Another article gets you acquainted with DocBook XML and an engineer at Red Hat talks about the structure of meritocracy and whether or not you can pull it out of its theoretical meaning and place it into the open source community.
Our own Jonathan Opp gives us an illuminating article about building headphone amplifiers the open source way while Bascha delivers part two of her Cory Doctorow interview.
We'd like to ask a favor of you readers... We have a new survey up, hoping to collect your thoughts and opinions about what you really want from Red Hat magazine. The more responses, the more acurately we can deliver a more personalized product so please take a few minutes of your time and fill out the survey.
If you're planning to attend the Red Hat Summit, today's the day to register because the Early Bird Special ends tomorrow evening at midnight. After that, it will be only you and Patsy Cline.
