PRESENTATION SUMMARY:
******************************
Want to see the slides from the Novell presentation?
Check the past presentations page on the KLUG web site:=20
http://kalamazoolinux.org/presentations/=20
Joe Felisky was wearing a Ximian t-shirt and a big smile as he
told us about Novell's transitioning into the Enterprise Linux=20
marketplace. He had two slide presentations, the first covering
Novell Nterprise services with overall Novell strategies and=20
offerings. The second was about Ximian products. For marketing=20
information and detailed explanations of the products see the=20
sites listed above. Novell is excited about Linux and Open Source=20
Software. Novell sees that it has an existing IT support base to=20
take into the new market which has great value and opportunity.
The first slide show focused on Novell Nterprise. All of the
components of Nterprise are available now. A unified release=20
is scheduled for November 2003. Novell is transitioning from
Netware 6.5 to fully Linux empowered Netware 7.0 with a release
date estimated in August 2005. In addition to the Nterprise=20
information, we heard about Novell's general Linux and product=20
strategies. Sure sounded like Novell is fully committed to the
transition to Linux. The integration of the Novell File System
with the Linux platform is scheduled for August of 2004.=20
Nterprise now runs on top of SuSE, Red Hat, or Novell's existing
network kernel. Novell provides full OS and application support.

The second slide show focused on the acquisition of Ximian and
that product line. We saw a Linux adoption graphic that showed=20
strong growth rates in both server and desktop implementations.
The purchase of Ximian was a key strategic move for Novell and
provided them with both products and OSS culture expertise. Joe
cut this slide show short as we had recently had Chris Lahey
from Ximian Gnome present and he had covered most of this info.

exclamations, and maybe even a few broken spectacles. What more=20
thrilling scene is there than the victor's squeals of pure=20

combination of Klingon and Sindarin?
Players: Up to four team members per round, you can switch out=20
as many players as you want between rounds. Each team is=20
permitted two substitutions per round at any point. An=20
accidental third substitution will cost the team 2048 points=20
in the single jeopardy round, and 4096 points in the double=20
jeopardy round. Any additional substitution will cost the team=20
10,248 points, regardless of the round. No substitutions are=20

turned out to be surprising enough to present them on their own.=20

LEARNING FROM KALEIDOSCOPE
Hordes of Free Software and Unix geeks are switching to OS X and=20
loving it. It's unlikely that any of the Unix projects being ported=20
to OS X will suffer Kaleidoscope's ultimate fate, simply because=20
their code is open and already runs on other operating systems.=20

of charge, for anyone to use. Provided, of course, that they share=20
any tweaks they make. But before there was Linux or open source,=20

wearing a Ximian t-shirt and a big smile as he<BR>told us about Novell's =
transitioning into the Enterprise Linux <BR>marketplace. He had two slide =
presentations, the first covering<BR>Novell Nterprise services with =
overall Novell strategies and <BR>offerings. The second was about Ximian =
products. For marketing <BR>information and detailed explanations of the =
products see the <BR>sites listed above. Novell is excited about Linux and =
Open Source <BR>Software. Novell sees that it has an existing IT support =
base to <BR>take into the new market which has great value and opportunity.=
<BR><BR>The first slide show focused on Novell Nterprise. All of the<BR>com=
ponents of Nterprise are available now. A unified release <BR>is scheduled =
for November 2003. Novell is transitioning from<BR>Netware 6.5 to fully =
Linux empowered Netware 7.0 with a release<BR>date estimated in August =
2005. In addition to the Nterprise <BR>information, we heard about =
Novell's general Linux and product <BR>strategies. Sure sounded like =
Novell is fully committed to the<BR>transition to Linux. The integration =
of the Novell File System<BR>with the Linux platform is scheduled for =
August of 2004. <BR><BR>Nterprise now runs on top of SuSE, Red Hat, or =
Novell's existing<BR>network kernel. Novell provides full OS and applicatio=
