Red Hat CTO on interop, virtualization and messaging
July 26, 2007

Yesterday I had the chance for a quick catch up with Brian Stevens, CTO and VP of engineering at Red Hat, about the company's plans following the release of RHEL 5.0.

Among the things we discussed were Red Hat's plans for the Libvirt virtualization API to create a VM-agnostic management layer, and more detail on how the company hopes to commercialize the Apache Qpid project, based on the Advanced Message Queuing Protocol (AMQP) specifications.

More on those discussions when I get a chance, but the other thing Brian noted was the company's work on Windows interoperability around virtualization, and how it compares to what Novell is doing via its controversial deal.

The headline "Red Hat says IP deal not necessary for Windows interop" pretty much sums it up, but take a look at what Brian had to say.
