    • IBM is coming for Red Hat developers...sometime in 2019 • DEVCLASS — But, “Number one is the people of Red Hat…we’ve got to preserve absolutely this Switzerland [status].”
    By coincidence, the population of Switzerland is slightly North of 8 million, roughly the same as Red Hat’s worldwide developer community.
    Rometty also said “We now have access to the world’s largest developer community.”
  • IBM strikes deal to buy Red Hat for $34 billion - Business Insider — IBM will pay $190 a share for the software company, which it described as the world's leading provider of open-source cloud software, a premium of more than 60% from Red Hat's closing stock price of $116.68 on Friday. Shares traded upward of $175 in June, but disappointing earnings combined with a volatile market to see the price drop sharply.
