Fall-out after Red Hat Press Conference
As part of Red Hat’s sponsorship for the research group, we held a press round table, attended by a handful of selected and respected open source journalists. Some of their summaries appeared last Friday. Here is the current run-down, more to come (in German):
- Der Standard: Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg erforscht Open Source (PDF)
- Linux Magazin: Dirk Riehle, der erste deutsche Open Source Professor (PDF)
- silicon.de: Der Open Source Professor stellt sich vor (PDF)
- ZDNet.de: Professor für Open Source nimmt Lehrtätigkeit auf (PDF)
One of the articles states that the professorship is for a term of three years only, which isn’t true, of course. It is unlimited, i.e. Prof. Riehle is a fully tenured professor (Bayrischer Staatsbeamter).
