Subject: Watch keynotes from the Red Hat Summit

Red Hat Magazine, Issue #20
June 2006

There was so much great stuff at this month's Red Hat Summit that we had
to bring some home for our readers. Don't miss the visionary keynote
videos--Eben Moglen and Cory Doctorow really brought the house down with
their talks on privacy, digital freedom, and copyright. And we've got
even more information about the projects that were announced during the
conference. The Mugshot team speaks up, and there's also features on
Dogtail, 108, Bugzilla, GnuCash, and Spring.

Read this issue.
