I remember my days at redhat where a poster was hang in the cafeteria with Gandhi’s quote

First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.

They really meant. Even being swallowed by a behemoth, they managed to cut the beast belly and break free.



Redhat is staying with IBM, not going to the spin-off:

>Besides the Red Hat portfolio and Global Business Services, IBM will retain its systems business, software portfolio focused on big data, AI and security, and mission-critical public cloud service.

That poster still hangs. There's a copy in the Annex also just down the street a little from Red Hat Tower (I took a picture last time I was there for training around this time last year actually).


How is this announcement related to Red Hat?


"The NewCo spin-off leaves IBM with Red Hat as its crown jewel, “laser-focused” on the US$1 trillion hybrid cloud opportunity, IBM CEO Arvind Krishna said in a press release." https://www.crn.com.au/news/ibm-spins-off-global-technology-...


But that's not RedHat "breaking free" as the parent comment sugggested. They're exactly where they were before, just with a slightly smaller parent company now.
