This week I’m going to be attending Novell’s Brainshare 2004. 
I’ll be blogging about it of course … and having attended Brainshare
for years, I can’t wait to see what they are going to do this year …
after the acquisitions.

Overall I am impressed that Chris and Jack stepped up and did something
so drastic … it was a great move … although the timing and 
immediate revenue will be something to be seen.

One thing that I can say is that Novell picked up some great
engineering talent in Ximian and SuSE.  They are extremely capable
and visionary in creating powerful applications … and the Mono
project is quite impressive also.

I’m in the keynote now … it starts in ~15 minutes …
