Today's focus: Haeger evangelizes OpenSuSE
By Dave Kearns
Last week I mentioned Novell's new OpenSuSE project. What I
didn't mention, because I didn't know it at the time, was the
name of the person who'll be talking it up: none other than our
old friend Ted Haeger.
Technology evangelist "The Rev." Haeger first showed up in this
newsletter <http://www.networkworld.com/nlnovell5640> a couple
of years ago, when I mentioned that he had been involved deeply
with Novell's iManage Portal.
Every time I hear from Haeger he has a new job at Novell. He
hasn't served a term as CEO just yet, but I'll bet it's in his
long-term plans.
He was just recently named to the post of "director, Novell user
communities." What's that? In Ted's words: "my job is to foster
our traditional user groups - those affiliated through Novell
Users International [NUI] - and newer user groups and forums -
such as Linux User Groups - by better connecting them with
what's going on at Novell."
So what's that got to do with OpenSuSE? If you're a member of
NUI, watch for an announcement about an upcoming Webcast wherein
The Rev explains the goodness of OpenSuSE. Or, if you happened
to be in Beijing last week, you might have heard Haeger waxing
poetic about the virtues of OpenSuSE.
Novell also took the opportunity to invest heavily in Chinese
open source by creating the Novell China research and
development center and opened a dedicated Chinese-language site
for the OpenSuSE project. While the government of China might
officially frown on religious expression, they may be daunted by
the kind of evangelism that The Rev brings when he wants to talk
up a project. China represents a strategic gain for Novell, and
for open source, in the struggle to overcome the Microsoft
worldwide hegemony. And if it's going to be a battle of words
for the hearts and minds of developers and users, then Ted
Haeger is the weapon I'd like to have on my side.
