Robert Love Resigns from Novell

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the moving-on dept.

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."

    Hi Robert,

    I am rather cross with you for lending your verbal support to Novell/Ximian's ignoble agenda to push KDE out of its well deserved and much loved position as the default desktop of the SuSE distribution. Which as you will recall, sparked a veritable customer revolt. How arrogant of you and those others involved. No, contrary to your claim, Ximian's offering is the second best Linux desktop, in my opinion. To be honest, I find Ximian's desktop downright irritating, clumsy, limited, buggy and really badly coded (yes I have been in there). However it is a fact that you have supported and continue to be an apologist for that cynical attempt to push KDE out of SuSE, that is not in doubt.

    Regards,

    Daniel

    After seeing both this comment and the vitriol on the story about him, I'm amazed that Miguel is still willing to work to make the OSS community better. Maybe I'll turn out to be wrong one day, but until then, I will appreciate the work that he does as a strong community leader for the Mono project. Put differently, I don't want to see Mr. de Icaza become another Slashdot joke. He doesn't deserve it for what he's done.
