SuSE CTO & President Steps Down
peterprior writes: "According to this press release, Dirk Hohndel, SuSE CTO and president has left SuSE. The article simply says that 'Dirk steps away from SuSE to pursue his personal and professional interests.' It goes on to say that 'His departure from SuSE comes at a time when SuSE gathers its forces and resources to strengthen SuSE as a business positioning itself to lead the world towards what is the most powerful and acknowledged alternative to the dominance of one proprietary operating system.'"
The entire post was a quote from the submitter, so it should all be italicized. Or conversely, quotes from posts should be normal, while commentary from editors is italicized. Whatever.
It's 10 PM. Do you know if you're un-American?
It's all in italics on my box (MDK8.1)...

I'm just a mortal with potential of a super man.
When it was first posted, Hemos forgot to close the italics flag, causing the entire front page to be in italics. It was fixed within 3 minutes of my original posting.
Good quote, too many chars. Seriously, the slashdot 120 char limit sucks!
Okay u have a press release. That's news.
Then you have some fud from it.
That is not news.
You passed on a piece of what Kuro5hin calls "Mindless Link Propagation.." To make it a story, some analysis of the significance of this fact, the CTO/President stepped down is called for.
I know nothing about this particular company, but the reasons for the step down could be either be a) truly personal reasons,
b) Hohndel doesn't like whatever SuSE is doing to "lead the world towards what is the most powerful and acknowledged alternative to the dominance of one proprietary operating system,"
c) SuSE doesn't like the guy,
d) some horrific scandal,
e) The mob,
f) Aliens.
I suppose you expect the posters to contribute A, B, C, D, E and F.
But, if you don't do a little more research you might as well re-name Slashdot to "Mindless Link Propagation."
