So..... Anyone want to talk about the IBM Redhat buyout rumors?

Rumors?

https://www.redhat.com/en

That's way too obvious to be "rumors"

First GitHub now redhat. It's either a great day for open source or a disaster. I'm not sure which yet...

Somehow IBM has earned my trust. Probably because it's been the #1 IT tech company since the early days. I honestly believe this is a good deal for all of us: IBM funds and toys + RH spirit, ideas, etc. I doubt this will kill any of RHs products already in the market. It's not IBM'ish to kill what's good...

I could be wrong. But I do not recall a single case IBM would screw everyone over.

@netikras oh hey, did see the news post....guess it really is official......crap.

Any arguments in favor/against?

@linuxxx I'll do the same as with the MS GitHub merge: hope for the best and prepare for the worst.

@bhouston Oh github is already blocked on my side haha

@linuxxx I vote "yay". Arguments -- 2 comments above yours ^^^

@netikras Yeah I read it! Was just asking for more input ;)

Let's start the conversation. I'll go first
