Red Hat completes tsunami projects
Red Hat, a leading provider of open source solutions to the
enterprise, recently dedicated completed houses in Negombo to families
that were affected by the Tsunami last December.
Vice President and Director of Government Programs Barry Duplantis
who attended the dedication ceremony said Red Hat chose Sri Lanka
because of its lowest per capita population segment that were affected.
Red Hat collaborated with the North Carolina State University to
contribute towards the construction of seven houses to affected families
in Negombo and restoration of a handloom factory in Kalmunai.
Duplantis added they chose to working with university students as it
also exposes them to social projects and exercises their leadership
qualities.
Duplantis also met with industry personnel including officials of the
Information Communication Technology Agency (ICTA) of Sri Lanka and key
partners. |
