8:45 - 9:00 Roundtable - Let's Keep Red Hat Honest!

While Red Hat's contributions to the Linux community are
legendary, we would be remiss if we failed to offer them
our thoughts concerning what they're doing right and what
we would prefer to see them do differently. Kiel will
moderate the discussion and prepare a submission based on
the results!
