[ale] SuSE to present at ALE Central in August

[Michael D. Hirsch]

People seemed so interested in SuSE I was inspired to get off my duff and 
contact the local Novell office.  They were very excited to have a chance to 
speak to us.  They are scheduled to speak at the August ALE Central meeting.  

I'm pestering them with requests for door prizes.  :-)

I'll be interested in their answers, as I asked a broad range of questions:

Here are a few burning questions I have: How does Novell plan to balance the 
needs to make a buck with the need to participate in the Open Source 
Community?  What is Novells stance on Open Source?  Will SuSE and Ximian stay 
separate, or become part of a greater whole?  Will SuSE still actively 
support KDE, as it has in the past, now that Manuel De Icaza is on the 
payroll?  Does Novell see the Linux desktop as a market and what is it doing 
to conquer it?

Answers to those question should fill a book, or at least a magazine article.
