His title says more about Novell's intentions
then about the holder of the title.
I hope you are aware that names are important
carriers of messages.
What does it mean when you say "he is a manager" ?
Does that describe his rank in the enterprise,
influencing his salary ?
Or does it mean he has to direct members of the community ?

Great to think that Novell could be investing in bridging the gap
between famously detached big corporations and the users ?
Is he going to participate here too ?
Or is he there purely to optimise the output
of the developers who are working for free.
