SuSE noshow at LWCE NY 2002
Hi, I was at LWCE yesterday and found SuSE to be absent from the floor. I came to know later that they cancelled their spot. So with this and coupled with the fact that they laid off most of the US staff, does it mean that SuSE is no longer interested in US market? Lenz? I was also surprised to see Mandrake booth. This year, the floor was even smaller and attendence lighter. Cheers, -- Nadeem Hasan nhasan@nadmm.com http://www.nadmm.com/

Yes, the entire office except for me and the accountant are there. We're spread between the IBM and a couple of other booths. -- -ckm

Oh...I didn't know that. I didn't see Lenz there, is he there too? I would have walked up and said hi :) If only someone had posted here about them. Cheers, -- Nadeem Hasan nhasan@nadmm.com http://www.nadmm.com/

No, unfortunately I had to stay at home this time - travel expenses have been cut down...

Well I looked hard for SuSE and did not find anyone. I looked at HP, IBM, SUN, COMPAQ, and whatever, but no SuSE. I'm disappointed. --doug
