Summary: Another key person of OpenSUSE has decided to leave Novell

EARLIER today we wrote about the bad shape that Novell was in amid sale negotiations. Now it's confirmed that Michael Löffler from OpenSUSE is leaving Novell.

As he puts it in a seemingly informal post, "after 7 years with SUSE and Novell I’ve chosen to change something in my life – and decided to accept a new job and will lay down my duties in the openSUSE project."

Löffler returns to familiar territories and we wish him luck. "Just to stop any rumours," he clarifies, "I leave Novell because I found a new job in the trade show management area close to Nuremberg."

OpenSUSE has been having stormy conditions with that recent delay and other issues which Novell does not address as it's closing down (in the development sense, i.e. going more proprietary). ⬆
