Novell is looking for people to do Open Office support.
No offense intended but I dont think Novell still has the reputation it once had in the Linux community...? ? ?
Anyone would wanna take up such an assignment?
Troll is definitely require here.
Do you know what is contribution of Novell in pushing OO.o to masses? Do you know that almost all top OO.o developers are working with Novell to contribute and making OO.o better?
Did you know that Novell signed a crooked deal with M$ to sue Linux users who had not paid Novell to use linux ?. Oh u did not. How could you with your head buried in the sand.
Do you Know about Micheal Meeks/Pavel Janik/.. ? If yes, you couldn't have sent this mail.
Did you know that Jeremy Allison resigned from Novell in protest against that stupid deal. And more recently Robert Love? Aha you did not. Your head was deeper in the sand.
Novel is seen as a company without scruples. And such companies are unable to sustain themselves in the long run. Using FOSS as the foundation to build your business is paticularly tricky becaus there is very little to compare with (or follow). But what is certain is that once you sully your reputation in the community it's curtains for you. All the best to those who think that working for Novell is a wonderful career opportunity.
