> Two years ago, at the RSA convention, I ran into a redhat employee and was chatting about (unix) and I mentioned that I was the founder of rsync.net with the expectation that he knew exactly who we were and what we did. That's a bit presumptuous isn't it? While many people have heard of rsync I've only heard of you because of HackerNews, and not everyone reads this site. When I first saw the URL "rsync.net" I didn't think of "backups", I thought that you maintained rsync or provided some sort of support for rsync. > But now I'm not so sure ... I have a feeling that somehow the redhat ecosystem and the people that use it are quite a bit differently focused than the HN crowd and people that are UNIX enthusiasts for the sake of UNIX. I work for SUSE, not RedHat, but our culture is incredibly similar (and I collaborate with people from RedHat every day). The makeup of companies like us is incredibly varied, and it's not really fair to make generalisations like that. I know quite a few people who work for RedHat and SUSE who are super obsessive about Unix and have hobbies that are massively tied to programming. But that doesn't suddenly mean that they will automatically know every startup that does cloud storage.
