First, I want to thank everyone who has contacted me this morning (20101122) to pass along the news of the Novell acquisition.\u00a0 It was nice hearing from you all again!\u00a0 Especially those that I hadn’t heard from in a while.<\/p>\n

But the growing volume of messages and other communications is getting a bit much to respond to everyone in reasonable time, so I decided to put a quick note up on this blog to let you know that:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. We are aware of the change, and…<\/li>\n
  2. My co-workers and I are working hard to find out as much information as possible, in order to come to a better understanding of how we — and our loyal customers — will be affected by the changes.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    If you have any questions, feel free to contact me.\u00a0 In the meantime, we march forward as we always have!\u00a0 Additionally, here’s a link to the public release:<\/p>\n

    …and the SEC filing…<\/p>\n

    …and this important note from Attachmate about Opensuse:<\/p>\n

    UPDATE 20101124:\u00a0 Novell keeps the Unix patents.\u00a0 You have no idea how funny I think this is, after 2 days of bloggers and tweeters going nuts across the InterTubes…\u00a0 Here, see this statement:<\/p>\n

    UPDATE 20101216:\u00a0 Attachmate announces their commitment to the Novell and Suse products:<\/p>\n

    UPDATE 20101217:\u00a0 I love theVARguy.com… probably the best analysis (and I think the most correct, since it matches my interpretation…\u00a0 \ud83d\ude09\u00a0 ) yet about the whole situation:<\/p>\n
