THE "boycott Novell" push has been keeping an eye on "Novell" news since 2006. That's about 5 years ago. Earlier this year "Novell" news got so scarce that there was hardly any point to keeping track of it. Apart from self-congratulating announcements [1, 2] (a form of PR) and the occasional mention of a few former Novell executives (PlateSpin too) moving to other companies, there is almost nothing to be found. When there is, it's about proprietary software from Novell (and proprietary flaws [1, 2), not to mention fluff that's hardly even products. What is it that Novell employees even do these days? Mysterious. Some of Novell's staff is just throwing videos into YouTube (e.g. IDM videos [1, 2, 3] and this amateurish promotion which can be seen below).
