Robert Love Resigns from Novell

An anonymous reader writes "Robert Love who was the Chief Architect of Novell's Linux Desktop has resigned today. Robert is a prominent Linux kernel hacker, author and journalist in the Linux community. His blog doesn't specify why he resigned, but after colleague and friend Jeremy Allison's departure from Novell in protest of the Microsoft-Novell deal, this might be the latest fallout from it."

It could have been Mormonism

Sooner or later, a career at Novell will require a stint at the Provo, Utah headquarters. Perhaps he did not want to reside or raise a family deep within the heartland of Mormonism.

That name rings a bell...

Novell, mmmm I am sure I have heard of that name before. Novell, wasn't that an old gift store franchise? No...ummmm

I give up, it must be insignificant.

Re:Speculation is natural, but fruitless

[Bruce Perens]

Suppose his reasons are none of our business, and he never shares. What use is it to speculate (other than my speculation that the anonymous story submitter wanted to kick the Novell pariah yet again)?

Well, the problem has not gone away. Can you state a better case regarding why it should be off-limits to raise it again?

Thanks
