help. I seem to remember that Lenz Grimmer and Michael Hasenstein were regulars here. What happened to them and others who don't seem to be active on the list anymore?
LenZ now works for MySQL IIRC, and contributes on the list occasionally, not sure where MH is now, he may still be at SUSE actually, but I'm not sure.
As for other SUSE/ex-SUSE people, Mads posts occasionally, myself and Ben are regulars, and Justin's weighed in the last couple of days.
The thing for ex-employees is that, certainly for myself and Justin in the UK office, we were encouraged to participate in the list as part of our jobs. Now we work for other people, that's not necessarily the case.
No-one else mentions this, but it says a huge amount about SuSE that ex-employees still weigh in and use SuSE (although how many used SuSE before they joined SuSE?). I still have fond memories when I worked for Penguin computing :). Maybe so much since then has been a let down, both technically and pay wise. Never been challenged enough since then. Anyway, not to go OT completely...I hope Windows2003 fails miserably in the Enterprise due to Novell/SuSE Linux. In some way everyone will have been a part of that, should it happen. Matt
