While working for Novell I had the pleasure of visiting India, and the
additional pleasure of meeting Harish Mehta.  Harish is the
managing director of Onward Technologies, and was half owner of Onward
Novell Software (India) … splitting the venture with Novell.

I was glad to hear that Harish has now sold his half of the venture
back to Novell, and allowing Novell to take control of the
entity.  I’m sure that Harish did well in the transaction, and I
look forward to contacting him to see what he is working on
lately.  I actually think that it is a good time to get out of the
relationship with Novell.  Now we’ll see how well Novell is able
to capitalize on the investment!
