Open Source Advocate VP Chris Stone Leaves Novell
SafeTinspector writes "ComputerWorld has a story regarding the sudden departure of Chris Stone, a respected open source advocate and the man often sited as the architect behind Novell's acquisistion of Ximian and SUSE as well as the recent open source orientation of Novell.
At the same time, Novell has a web site dedicated to dispelling the mistruths propogated in Microsoft's 'Get the Facts' campaign. What does all this mean to the future of Novell's Linux and Open Source strategy? Does any of this relate to the imminent release of Open Enterprise Server? Anybody?"

I can't post this with my real UID as it could jeapordize my job. Stone is coming here to Microsoft. They apparently offered him a big bucket of cash to undo the good he's done for the Linux community (and OSS in general)
This offer came straight from Ballmer. In Redmond it's viewed as a coup but a few of us younger ones think it's grasping at straws as the server division is taking a severe beating from management with their shoddy product.
Watch, you will see that headline next week in an announcement at the MS Developer Conference.
Nice propaganda article.
Which completely misses the point that our high school completeion is light years ahead of high school completion in other countries.
Where it stacks up? We areat the same level as them when they leave highschool when we still have 3 years to go!!
American high school dropouts are still ahead of anyone else. If you cant see that then maybe you should send YOUR kids overseas??
