Well, the Novell spin machine is trying to pedal, but they’re not pedalling fast enough. First we saw the Novell brass say they were duped. Then we saw them go to the masses with an IRC press conference. Now we’re seeing the justifications– Novell knew what they were doing the whole time, or something.
Well, as I learned in Film School, the message is in the media. It’s not what Novell is saying anymore, only that the story/angle/spin is changing so rapidly, like a teenager trying to esplain the beer cans found in the back of the family car to his father on Sunday morning. Meanwhile, Ubuntu has gone ahead and published that open letter I thought that Red Hat should. The community seems to be divorcing themselves from Novell, either overtly with RMS-type declarations, or quietly and discreetly by ‘just not buying’ the SLED10 installs that Novell was hoping for.
Pedal faster, Novell. Death by 10,000 ant bites is not a pretty way to go.
I promise I'm relevant
