SEVERAL years ago, apologists of Novell loved pointing at RadeonHD's direction and say that Novell was a champion of Free software. Setting aside the fact that Novell laid off one of the key developers of RadeonHD (Luc Verhaegen, last mentioned here) while struggling with DRM and with AMD, it is important to separate (Open)SUSE from Novell.

There are several items about conference calls regarding various "commercial, financial issues." Whatever that means.
Set expectations and beat them. That’s the situation facing Novell as the company prepares for BrainShare EMEA, scheduled for May 18 to 21 in Amsterdam.

Novell Chief Marketing Officer and Channel Chief John Dragoon says the event is sold out.
