Novell's welcome gift for Red Hat
The VAR Guy suggested that Novell should greet Red Hat's "invasion" of Boston next week with a little tea party of sorts. Well, I don't know that Novell has any such intentions in mind - it's a peace-loving company, after all - but I can reveal Novell's welcome banner for Red Hat Summit attendees:

All's fair in love and advertising....
As shown, Novell has hung banners and put 7x7 floor decals in the Prudential Center Mall in Boston. The Hynes Convention Center is connected to the Prudential Center Mall, as are the three main "recommended" hotels for Red Hat Summit.
In other words, anyone attending the Red Hat Summit will see a little SUSE advertising on their way to/from the show each day. Nice touch, Novell. :-)
Matt Asay brings a decade of in-the-trenches open-source business and legal experience to The Open Road, with an emphasis on emerging open-source business strategies and opportunities. Matt is vice president of business development at Alfresco, a company that develops open-source software for content management. He is a member of the CNET Blog Network and is not an employee of CNET. Disclosure.





SUSE hitting out at Red Hat is about as likely to cause a stir as Salesforce putting up Moscone signs for Oracle OpenWorld: its just not even on their radar...
your defense of your former employer is understandable, but the comment box can be used as a check on rationality for relevance...

- That's funny, I just was in the Pru (as us Bostonians call it) the other day and didn't notice. I'll definitely have to look around next time.
