Red Hat Challenge
I and three other MBA students recently completed a contest which involved producing a document outlining a new way for Red Hat Inc. to make money - known as the Red Hat Challenge. The contest featured:
- 144 Schools
- 344 Teams
- 978 Contestants from 15 Countries
Results came in today. We finished in 7th Place. Not bad!

The idea was to supply a volunteer-based local and regional support network to the users. Volunteers would be higher-level computer-savvy folks, contributing in a social network for rewards doled out by Red Hat.
