Red Hat offshoot rPath has named Tim Buckley, once the COO of Red Hat and lately the principal of Buckley Investments, to its board as executive chairman.

He's supposed to help rPath accelerate its push into the enterprise market with solutions for reducing the cost and complexity of delivering applications to traditional, virtualized and cloud-based environments.

rPath treasures him for his sales and go-to-market experience in the enterprise sector, credited with pushing Red Hat into the open source fast lane.

Buckley was senior VP of worldwide sales for Seattle-based Visio when it was bought by Microsoft for $1.5 billion. And he was an executive with Aldus, the developers of PageMaker; and Approach, which he helped launch from its early stages through a major acquisition by Lotus.

Apparently he thinks his magic can work again.
