So I am out at Red Hat Summit for the fourth year in a row, and it’s great to see some old friends  — not to mention new ones (the crowds grow every year).

Speaking of old friends, one of our favorite integrators, Shadow-Soft, just won the Partner Catalyst award out here at Red Hat Summit. This kind of goes to show what I was talking about in my previous post: Likewise gives Systems Integrators so much flexibility — allowing flexibility of operating platform choice when trying to best figure out a client’s overall solution requirements. Not being tied down to Windows is rapidly making more and more sense for companies, and showing how Likewise can make Linux, Unix or Mac first-class citizens in a Windows environment turns many of our Systems Integrators into trusted solution providers. So congrats to the folks over at Shadow-Soft, you guys deserve it!
