Red Hat Public Sector Coffee Hour with Kevin Mitnick

The Public Sector Coffee Hour series is a bi-weekly videocast featuring luminaries from technology, society and the world of STEM. Topics for discussion will include governmental and societal impacts of technology, open source in Sci/Tech/Med., as well as the role of technology and work/life balance.

Kevin Mitnick, once the FBI’s most wanted hacker. Mr. Mitnick was arrested for what Sun Microsystems would later do themselves - publishing the source code to Sun’s Unix operating system. He and Red Hat’s Chief Architect, Adam Clater, will talk about the importance of transparency in security and the facts around open source technology being more secure than its proprietary, closed source alternatives.
