THE WORD ON THE
STREET IS VYATTA |
|
The customer experience is very
important to us and to be sure that we are doing our absolute best,
we've recently completed another round of customer interviews. (A
big thank you to everyone who participated). One trend that is now
very clear to us is that Vyatta downloads and customers are often
driven to us by referrals. This trend underlines the importance of
the role that each of you are playing in our rapid growth, so once
again, a big THANK YOU to the Vyatta community.
For every one of you that forwards this newsletter, shares Vyatta
experiences on your blog or social media like twitter, linkedin or
facebook we are grateful. Keep up the good work on
spreading
the word and we'll continue delivering the industry leading open
networking product.

VYATTA
vs. MICROSOFT? A MEDIA LESSON |
For a fun look at how the media can run with a story (or non-story),
take a quick scan of the headlines and links below. All of these
originated from a blog post by Vyatta engineer, Stephen Hemminger
titled "Congratulations Microsoft" [blog
post here] - which quickly was spun into a story about
Microsoft's announcement of contribution of code under the GPL.
The situation [explained
here] by Vyatta VP of Marketing, Dave Roberts was a lesson in
the power of words (whether you actually wrote them or not).
...and at least a dozen
more like those
