We're approaching the end of our Open Source CEO Series, but there are a few more executives that I'd still like to profile here. One is Pete Childers, CEO of Zmanda. Pete and I got to know each other through Red Hat's RHX, which he led until he left Red Hat to join Zmanda. He's a very thoughtful person with great insight into open source, having helped to build the world's most successful open source company, and to create one of the industry's biggest open source businesses...within Red Hat.

In this nineteenth installment of the Open Source CEO Series, I caught up with Pete to get his thoughts on open source, and the difference between his old role at Red Hat and his new role at Zmanda. Pete is one of the open source world's savviest executives on the force of the Internet, which comes through here.
