I guess my question then is what does it take to push this forward with Novell?
Um, I don't understand. What do you want from Novell here? This is something that the community must do, not Novell.
good luck,

I guess he means to say that without some kind of at least 'we don't care much' from Novell this might not be a good idea so he asks who to talk to... Besides, having some help would be even better of course. I'm personally quite torn on this, like most - it will be difficult to pull off and Novell might greatly dislike it which is bad for our relationship. Moreover, I'm very unsure about wheter this will hurt or help SLES - yes, I have heard the stories about CentOS - but in the end, what is the effect? If it helps SLES sales in the end - cool, more income means more investment as well. If it hurts Novell's bottom line - bad. Problem is - you can't know these things for sure. It's about perception - how management sees it. So that's where talking is important.
