[ale] OpenSUSE hiring a Chief Evangelist

The Chief Evangelist's job might not be that difficult when talking to companies who are looking for Linux support and MS interoperability.  Novell fills an important niche there.  I didn't like the Novell/MS agreement myself, and am wondering how GPLv3 will affect the relationship.  The Chief Evangelist will have to address that.  Novell's enhanced OpenOffice that supports Excel VB macros in Calc is an important contribution.

I love suse for the reliable patching.  I personally haven't felt comfortable in other distros and new users seem to work in suse easily.  The latest free version of suse, opensuse 10.3, just got released.  I am looking forward to testing it out with our software mix.  Hopefully we can move to it for all desktops and laptops.
Best wishes,
Dow
