Red Hat Exec Marries A Couple At Red Hat Summit (cio.com) 62

Posted by EditorDavid from the accepting-a-commit dept.
On the second day of the Red Hat Summit this week, attendees found themselves invited to a wedding during one of the general sessions. The groom was Matt Hargrave, a Red Hat client from Texas, and, it probably goes without saying, a huge fan of the company. The bride was Shannon Montague, a sign language interpreter, and "maybe the most understanding bride ever," jokes Slashdot reader itwbennett: "Pushing a commit to github isn't the same as committing to a life partner. There is no forking this project," Red Hat EVP Paul Cormier told a Texas couple, as he united them in holy matrimony... Red Hat CEO Jim Whitehurst was ring bearer. You can watch the ceremony on YouTube.
"After today your relationship will have newly architected infrastructure. And, of course, collaboration is...critical." I'm wondering if Slashdot readers can suggest more geeky marriage vows -- or have any other geeky wedding stories to share.

    Aside from the obvious joke, that there definitely will be lots of "forking" going on in the bedroom, it's easy to fork a github project.

    • And using a private modprobe to inject his personal code into her kernel.

  • This is truly a geek moment, and double landing on slashdot

  • I wish them the best, but I fear for their future.

    Perhaps my sample size is too small, but my impression is that marriages that start with such frivolous wedding ceremonies tend to not last that long.

      Conversely, I've seen a few "fairy tale" weddings where everything was the most "perfect" wedding you could imagine, but the marriages self-destructed within a few years.

      The only thing that matters is whether the two people are "on the same page." If they both sincerely want some sort of wacky wedding, they've probably well-matched and it has at least a reasonable chance of lasting. If one wants something else but is cajoled/bullied/guilted into something else, that's not a good sign for a start.

  • Made those in attendance chuckle, and so perfectly fit my wife's and my personalities.

    I'd have to say this [slashdot.org] was probably the geekiest proposal I've ever seen...

  • I'm sorry, I thought this site was about news that matters.

  • Mine were divided into lines, with each line having a number of words equal to the line's number in the fibonacci sequence. I think the last line was 89 words.

  • My wife and I got married at the Wagnalls Memorial Library in Lithopolis, OH. Not the geekiest option but we liked it a heck of a lot better than a church or some random park.

  • "You can watch the ceremony on YouTube."

    Oh yeah, I'll get right on that. On second thought, hell no.

  • There is no forking this project," Red Hat EVP Paul Cormier told a Texas couple

    On the contrary. I expect that there will be lots of forking on their wedding night, and likely quite a bit during the honeymoon as well.
