| Finally, advice that applies anytime becomes even more critical in times like 
| these. "Really focus on your existing customers," says Asay. "The first thing 
| to go and worst thing that can happen is that your customers leave. They'll 
| be the most sure source of income. Hold on to what you've got and try to sell 
| deeper into existing accounts. Customers could be harder to come by for a 
| little while."

Red Hat: Crisis to boost open source

,----[ Quote ]
| The global economic crisis would provide a boost for open source software,
| Red Hat chief executive Jim Whitehurst claimed during a visit to Sydney this
| week.

| Whitehurst, who stopped over down under as part of a tour of the Asia-Pacific
| region, said in an interview with ZDNet Asia's sister site ZDNet Australia
| that the crisis would cause companies to consolidate their technology
| infrastructure and reduce spending.

No Recession at Red Hat

,----[ Quote ]
| It is flattering to be mentioned, Mr. Whitehurst said, but he noted that

| Hat’s “Switzerland status” — not being a province of one of the major powers
| in the technology industry.
