Thingsthatdostuff@reddit
No offense but im pretty sure they were giving those away at last ansiblefest. Otherwise congrats!
nikhilparmar09@reddit
Always dreamed of Working in Redhat
Dangerous-Choice-864@reddit
Pretty awesome, bro!
Chemical-Regret-8593@reddit
neat!
Niranchan@reddit
Ahh, Yes... The propoganda...
Maykey@reddit
I like that it's written "red hat" on the red hat.
ILikeBumblebees@reddit
Watch out! That hat could be discontinued at any moment!
cyber-punky@reddit
No, if they give out the hat assembled, they can't take away the source .. thats how the license works.
Redditperegrino@reddit
Nice! Congrats.
🎊🎉
MasterBach@reddit (OP)
Feel free to ask questions if you have any
v3bbkZif6TjGR38KmfyL@reddit
How much of a babe-magnet are you since winning this hat?
MasterBach@reddit (OP)
I'm married I don't think my wife will have much luck getting babes with this either
Coffee_Ops@reddit
Waiting till after you're married to reveal the fedora is definitely the way to go.
MasterBach@reddit (OP)
A surprise, of sorts for m'lady
cyber-punky@reddit
But a welcome one ?
MrSteeben@reddit
What did you do to win this?
karuna_murti@reddit
Go to conferences that RedHat participates in and you can get the same stuff.
MasterBach@reddit (OP)
Openshift container platform is being widely adopted across many corporations and it behooves you professionally to know as much as you can about it
I implemented a project internally with it. Redhat was onsite to support.
anthony_doan@reddit
From my limited research it's a cloud agnostic thing?
I'm guessing it runs podman and kubernetes with nice tools built around those?
karmiccloud@reddit
Openshift is a kube distro that also packages a bunch of stuff on top
dzuczek@reddit
I've used Openshift (OKD), it is awesome
Kubernetes out of the box is so useless for webapps without all this configuration, Openshift makes it so easy
MrSteeben@reddit
Interesting. I’ll definitely jot that down and look into this. Congrats though, super cool hat! Very jealous.
Mastermachetier@reddit
That’s cool! I work on the Openshift dedicated team it’s fun stuff !
BadGoodNotBad@reddit
Do you have a collection of katanas to go with the hat
sln1337@reddit
weird thing to say i guess
Voltagepeanutbutter7@reddit
no way, an actual redhat, i wonder what they give for arch users, a triangle?
yukeake@reddit
Very nice! Congrats!
It's such a shame that wearing a hat that happens to be red in public is now a political thing. Those of us who are in the know about linux would understand it, but unfortunately most non-techie folks would associate it with that "other" group.
johncate73@reddit
I live in a very red state and no one here associates all red hats with MAGA. They may not know Red Hat the company, but MAGA is red baseball caps with the slogan on it, plainly recognizable. I wear the red version of a Boston Red Sox baseball cap (red hat, blue B) all the time and no one has ever thought I was a Trumper because of it.
dcbrown73@reddit
I was a Redhat guy for 25+ years, but since IBM bought them I've been migrating away.
It's a shame, I still believe overall they were the best distro for professional use. Yeah, yeah, personal opinion, but it was one earned over 25 years as a Linux professional.
johncate73@reddit
From Red Hat to Big Blue Hat.
MetalLinuxlover@reddit
Congratulations for the win 🏆.
itzjackybro@reddit
waiting for the part where OP tips the fedora to someone when they see Linux
Netprincess@reddit
The swag I got at comdex. Bags and bags of it.
You should of got better Hun
mikeymop@reddit
You have bags and bags of redhats?
I've been searching (and applying) all my life for one.
Would you be willing to let one go? 🙏
white015@reddit
Red Hat gives these away for free at developer conferences they exhibit at.
mikeymop@reddit
I had thought so too, but I visited them at Kubecon, and asked.
I got a very rude response as a result.
vladutzu27@reddit
I saw a woman rocking one once, might be the coolest swag ever
s0litar1us@reddit
The red Red Hat hat.
USERNAME123_321@reddit
Congrats! I didn't know there was a real version of the Red Hat fedora, I've always wanted one
yonsy_s_p@reddit

Stylish. What's in the box?

slxlucida@reddit
Kinda a stretch, but are you based in GSO?

No-Recording384@reddit
I wish I had a Red Hat red hat
triangularRectum420@reddit
Should have gone upto them and said “I use Fedora btw”
RoGuE_RNG@reddit
The only acceptable time to wear a fedora
BotBarrier@reddit
Well done! Congrats.
mfinn999@reddit
nice Red Hat red hat.
pimp-bangin@reddit
Disappointed that the red hat icon doesn't have a recursive self-reference to the hat in the hat band
Sea_Astronomer_2834@reddit
well it would be on the side we cant see
MasterBach@reddit (OP)
😂 agreed
pluckyvirus@reddit
It should be red Red Hat hat
JockstrapCummies@reddit
It'd be funnier if the hat isn't actually red.
Gb0-6074@reddit
congrats man
StochasticCalc@reddit
I could never bring myself to wear it, but it's so fucking cool
hassanhaimid@reddit
This fedora “pun intended” is appropriate only to win and then chuck in your cupboard between your old tahirts. You cant wear it anywhere unironically
MasterBach@reddit (OP)
It's okay I rarely see the light of day either
i_am_bruhed@reddit
Nice you really hit a jackpot of sorts
AirCombatF22@reddit
Nice, they were handing those out at Kubecon NA last year
bmo1099@reddit
