Blast from the Past: Jack Messman Speaks Open Source (Video)

Posted in Interview, Novell, Videos at 5:48 am by Dr. Roy Schestowitz

Jack Messman, the former CEO of Novell, speaks about Linux and Open Source in the following old video. It is worth mentioning that negotiations with Microsoft only began after Messman stepped down (rather passively).

At the time, Novell argued that Jack Messman’s departure would give priority to Linux. This exemplifies the meaning of the phrase “Better the Devil You Know (Than the One You Don’t Know)“.

What Else is New

Microsoft Loves Linux and Android Apps Running on Windows Instead of GNU/Linux and Android Devices

Microsoft loves Linux, they say; but as Microsoft's former VP James Allchin put it: "If you're going to kill someone there isn't much reason to get all worked up about it and angry -- you just pull the trigger [...] We need to smile at Novell while we pull the trigger."

Nine Documents About the Financial Siege Against EPO Staff (Past, Present, and Future)

Today we release dozens of pages of letters and documents (internal to Europe's second-largest institution); they all focus on the betrayal and skulduggery, crushing staff in spite of what was originally promised (and what workers actually signed up for)
EPO Senior Management (Cabal) “Essentially Deaf to the Proposals From Staff Representatives.”

Representatives of EPO staff feel like the management of the EPO is "deaf" and uncaring; there's hardly any meaningful progress (or none whatsoever) when it comes to truly honest dialogue with real participation
EPO Management, Led by António Campinos, Attempted to Stifle or Prevent Staff From Being Surveyed

Battistelli's cabal, which covers up a lot of fraud and corruption, is attempting to prevent the staff from expressing an opinion (for insiders and perhaps outsiders to assess) because things are really bad and autocratic measures are seen as necessary to keep the lid on issues/abuses
The European Patent Office's Central Staff Committee: Office Cannot Recruit Fit-for-Purpose Patent Examiners Anymore

One third of EPO recruits are 'locals' (Germans), 0.2% are Swiss, 1% Scandinavian; the EPO as an employer became unattractive and it's unable to attract the staff it needs (as was projected and planned when the EPC was agreed upon)

A Free Speech Deficit Harms Software Freedom

Free software and Software Freedom cannot possibly succeed if we keep accepting or even just tolerating systematic censorship of opinionated people in our community; failing to speak out on this matter (for fear of supposedly offending someone, risking expulsion) is part of the problem — complicity by passivity

Cartoon: After Gambling With Workers' Savings the EPO Can Do Real Estate

New EPO cartoon from EPO insiders (the one on the right certainly looks a lot like António Campinos and the one on the left can be his EUIPO ‘import’ or Benoît Battistelli‘s INPI ‘import’)
Free as in Freedom Should Not be Associated With Cost

It's important to remind people that so-called 'free' services (Clown Computing, centralised spaces that 'farm' their so-called 'users') aren't really free; we need to advocate freedom or free-as-in-freedom alternatives
