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."

    Well, I guess when people say there is no love for Novell, they mean there is no Love for Novell.

    Interesting how is he signing his letters.. "Love Robert" or "Robert Love" or, maybe put a comma in between like: "Love, Robert"...

    I don't see a problem with signing his letters that way. He might just be a very enlightened person.

    I really wish there were more people like this in our industry. That would attract women.

    And women have boobies.

    Get some priorities! Paris Hilton has just been sentenced to 45 days in jail, and you discuss some radroid nerd quitting his job. For shame!

    In a year Miguel de Icaza will be the only Novell employee left.. until he gets _the_ call from Microsoft he waited so long for, of course.

    In the good old hippie days:

    "Love, Robert" would indicate he wrote with a good post-sex mood. "Love Robert" indicates he wrote after a few beers and signing as "Robert Love" just means the cocaine was good :)

    Or he could sign "Love Bob" which sounds like a sex toy.
