About us
This group is for bringing together the NYC Red Hat User Community for technical presentations, conversations and perhaps some food and drink. Membership includes Red Hat Customers, Partners, Employees, and Enthusiasts.
Topics include everything in the Red Hat ecosystem - Fedora, Red Hat Linux, JBoss, OpenShift, Satellite, OpenStack, and others. While we discuss Linux and open source topics, we discuss them primarily as they relate to this ecosystem so as to not compete with other excellent NYC groups that already do this in a more general sense.
We focus on technical topics and items of community interest and try to keep the marketing bits to a minimum.

While LLMs have unlocked powerful conversational capabilities, enterprise IT requires more than text generation, it demands AI agents that can safely reason, act, and collaborate across complex hybrid environments.
At the upcoming New York City Red Hat User Group on October 21, we're taking a deep dive into building production-grade agentic tooling and implementing the Model Context Protocol (MCP) standard.
Featured Speaker: Jonathan Edwards — Senior OpenShift Technical Account Manager & HPC Engineer, Red Hat Jonathan works directly with major financial services institutions to implement and tune large-scale OpenShift and Kubernetes clusters, with a dedicated focus on AI automation and enterprise tooling.Why you should attend:
- Real-World Architecture: Learn how to move from static LLM prompts to distributed, collaborative agentic systems.
- OpenShift & AI Convergence: Understand how High-Performance Computing (HPC) principles apply to modern enterprise AI deployments.
- Network in Midtown: Connect with local engineers, architects, and Red Hat subject matter experts over complimentary food and beverages in a relaxed setting at IBM.
- Date: Wednesday, October 21, 2026 | 6:00–8:00 PM ET
