Interesting that it was carried on an Itialian website. In any case, does this mean much to the average developer or is it more the case of "good feelings" and goodwill towards the SUSE community? -- kai www.perfectreign.com || www.4thedadz.com a turn signal is a statement, not a request -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

It mostly means something for Hubert :) There should really be no community impact. Ciao, Marcus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

It mostly means something for Hubert :) There should really be no community impact. Most humbly disagree. It should silence any doomsayers who spoke of doom for SuSELinux when he departed, solely because he had departed. Hopefully his remarks will silence most of the rest of them as well (assuming they have read the article, that is).

Doesn't sound like he burned any bridges when he left because he's been back since December 1, 2006. Doesn't say whether Novell/SUSE was pressuring him to return but in what I consider a very smart move they did re-hire him. Other articles say he is the team leader for kernel quality and already has a full workload. Notice the total lack of marketing from Novell/SUSE on this. In the article he states he was burnt-out and the year off did him a world of good. Now he is coming back to the distribution he helped start because its what-he-wants-to-do-for-a-job and really likes to do it. He even says the Novell/Microsoft thing is no big deal to him. From the article: "Fundamentalism always leads to pain. What's important is that Linux is free and will remain to be free," Mantel said. I believe that Hubert Mantel is highly respected as a coder and as an opensource software and GPL supporter. How can this not be good for you, me, openSUSE and any opensource/Linux/GPL developer?

Yes, he produced some great kernels. I used to use his tree back in the days. He was also always very responsive to any questions I asked about his kernels. Charles -- "On the Internet, no one knows you're using Windows NT" (Submitted by Ramiro Estrugo, restrugo@fateware.com)

I read those statements as "Team Player Talk" . He would be obligated to answer that way even if he was grinding his teeth as he said it. I have seen Hubert call a spade a "F'ing Shovel" when he wants to, but this would not be the time to do so. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen
