"Bit of an advertorial"
Few thoughts:
* It's Red Hat Summit (virtually) so RH makes its CEO available to journos, and here we are.
* If Canonical and Suse want to be interviewed, they know where to find us.
* If you don't see us interview someone, it's unlikely we don't care - it's more likely they don't want to be interviewed by us.
On more than occasion, a PR has asked me, "what do I need to do to get my client into The Reg?" And my response is: "You should be keeping your client out of The Reg."
Also, if you've been following Kieren's work, let alone the rest of the site, for a while, you'll know editorial doesn't really do the whole ass-kissing thing in tech.
