| SUBJECT | Subject: [hangout] Novel Meeting
|
I was hoping to see a few more faces at the Novel Meeting today, however, the
meeting was rather fruitful. Novel seems to mixed ideas about it's free
software aquisitions, and they clearly are talking about peppering GNU/Linux
woth propriatory software 'services' such as their iprint and edirectory
services as a business model. On the other hand, they have a clear eyes
notion of the GPL, and they are dedicated to changing their corperate culture.
Unfortunately, much of their hope in bringing this change is based on lessons
from Nat. It seems, in my opinion, that they are still lerching a little for
better understanding, and are reaching out to groups like NYLXS. So we might
have an oppurtunity to discuss needs and issues with Novel at the highest
levels.
Afterwards, we joined the SuSE cocktail party, by far the largest party I saw.
Everyone from IBM to the Linux Journal was there, with a lot of enthusiasm.
Ruben
