Indeed. I am that friend, and I can confirm this. This morning a good deal of the US office staff was laid off. Some people will be staying, leaving a core group of people to maintain the US presense and market. Most people already have options for employment elsewhere, and at least one person has the possibility to go to SuSE GMbH. This has nothing to do with bad faith in the 7.1 distribution, as was suggested in previous postings. It is one of the best distributions ever, imho.
