Red Hat Expands Board of Directors

Red Hat Expands Board of Directors is today’s business-side update, the sort of suit-and-spreadsheet news that still decides what games actually reach players.

The useful part: Harvey brings more than 15 years of emerging technology company experience and vast knowledge of the computer industry to Red Hat. As a founding partner of Benchmark in 1995, Harvey has been instrumental in helping talented entrepreneurs build major technology enterprises focused on long-term growth. An early evangelist of Open Source development, Harvey also has invested in Collab.Net, developer of sourceXchange, a dynamic marketplace for the funding of Open Source software projects, and holds board seats with leading companies such as Ashford.com (ASFD), Broadbase Software. File it under the usual 1999 PC pile: interesting, crowded, and probably fighting five other releases for attention.
