We're just going to keep looking forward. We have a tough stretch in front of us. We're playing all the top teams, except for Toll Gate (Feb. 10), over the next two weeks.

We've got some kids playing, some freshmen playing a lot of hockey for us right now. Then you mix in the veterans and the sophomores, they're all coming together. They're seeing what high school hockey is all about, it's a long season.

This validates the relevance and power that open-source [products] now have in the technology world. We couldn't get a better endorsement.

Partners reported that customers are now coming to them and they say it's an important shift from even a year ago. It's a better indication the mass market is truly materializing because they're going through traditional trusted relationships with partners for their expertise. In the past we pushed ourselves into those partnerships and now we're seeing a transition with partners coming to Red Hat.

Two years ago our model was a direct relationship with customers. We had to go through a transformation. To create leverage and scale, we knew we needed to have engagement with partners to drive that business.

There's no easy way to do it, ... Frankly, it's worked out the best for us because that way I get to see the kids every night when I come home for dinner.
