THE RED HAT DEVELOPERS PROGRAM
==============================
May 30, 1995
Durham, NC -- Red Hat Inc. is pleased to announce a new program
designed for the serious Linux user, including Linux users who are
rolling out Linux for organizational, and corporate use, and Linux
developers of tools and applications.
Offered directly by the team who build and maintain the Red Hat
Commercial Linux distribution, this program will prove to be
invaluable to the serious developer whose timely access to information
is mission critical.
The program consists of the following:
1) Monthly CD-ROM updates of Red Hat Commercial Linux
Members of the Red Hat Developers Program will receive on CD-ROM
the absolute latest hot-off-the-burner Red Hat Commercial Linux
release monthly. These releases are only available through the
Developers Program -- general public releases are only made
quarterly. Each monthly release will contain new and upgraded
RPPs (Red Hat Program Packages), tracking the latest in stable
Linux components and Red Hat administration tools, as well as
providing important timely security fixes. To update your
installation each month, simply mount the new CD and run the
provided update program which queries your system and upgrades
all your installed RPPs.
2) Red Hat Notes with each CD-ROM
These notes detail the changes from the previous release and
related issues, and introduce issues that will become important
in the future.
3) A private developers mailing list
The developers mailing list will be used for discussion of Linux
and Red Hat Commercial Linux. It will also be used to keep
members up to date on Linux issues, saving the time and effort
of searching through thousands of Usenet posts and subscribing
to dozens of mailing lists.
The many benefits of membership in the Developers Program include:
BE THE FIRST TO MARKET
======================
Announce availability of your products the moment Red Hat ships
a new public release!
The ability to develop and test your products against new technologies
before they ship on a new public release of Red Hat Commercial Linux
will help you maintain a competitive edge in your market. The
Developers Program provides for this in three ways. 1) The Red Hat
Notes help you keep up with changes to Linux and Red Hat Commercial
Linux. 2) The monthly CD-ROMs provide you with updated code as fast
as possible. 3) The Developers Program mailing list allows instant
notification of updates.
UNPARALLELED SUPPORT
====================
Membership ensures your questions will not go unanswered.
Developing for Linux can sometimes feel like shooting at a moving
target. Red Hat Commercial Linux is designed to alleviate that
problem, but regardless, in today's market software developers need
accurate, timely support. Support is provided to Program members
through the private mailing list and a private support email address,
which is always staffed. The mailing list gets you the latest patches
as they are produced. And finally, the Red Hat Notes point out issues
before they can cause you trouble.
STAY CURRENT
============
Members spend less time looking for information, and more time
creating quality products.
In order to support applications on Linux you need to know what is in
store for Linux in the future. The CD-ROM subscription provides you
with versions of tools and utilities that may not appear in commercial
versions of Linux for months. The Red Hat Notes will highlight which
developments you should review. The mailing list gets you key
information on a timely basis without the investment of effort
required to review dozens of magazines, hundreds of newsgroups, or
thousands of postings and messages.
YOUR PRIVATE LINE TO THE RED HAT DEVELOPMENT TEAM
=================================================
Your needs become Red Hat Commercial Linux features.
Through the private mailing list, for Program members only, you will
be kept informed as to the future plans for Red Hat Commercial Linux.
Indeed, your input will count a great deal when we make important
design decisions and technology choices.
RED HAT LINUX SWAT TEAM
=======================
Through the Program, you may contract with Red Hat Inc. to provide
development, packaging, and installation services.
Membership in the Red Hat Developers Program is being offered at an
introductory price of only $299 per year.
