Hey there,
Novell just announced their "Novell Data Synchronizer Mobility Pack" Technology Preview. It is out NOW!
Well, what does this mean? For a while now, GroupWise users had issues syncing to any mobile device (other than blackberry). This is the replacement of the Free GMS server.
Again, this is FREE with GroupWise, for users with maintenance. ALL k-12's are included!!!!
Nice

Novell Brainshare 2010, lots to tidbits
Hello all,
Spent all of yesterday in classes of SuSE and GroupWise on Linux.
Ascot, the code name for the next version of GroupWise, will be released 4th quarter 2010. A few cool things.
- You will be able to edit and add pictures to the Novell GroupWise Address book
- Only 64-bit OS.
OMG, I didn't realize HOW FAST putting eDirectory and other services on SuSE really is. What a difference!
And...If you are going to party, make sure you party with the Big Guys. Oh what a night! (What happens in Utah, Stays in Utah.)

Novell BrainShare 2010, Novell is Listening
Hey All,
I hear from people that "Novell isn't listening!" Well...they are now.
If you need something out of your Novell products they want to hear it. And if your idea is really good, you have a chance to win an 8 GB iPod touch. Let them hear from you in Wisconsin!

Simple pleasures in life are...
I wasn't going post anything tonight, but I couldn't help myself. I giggled all the way to my hotel room.
I met up with Peter Atkins and Joe Doupnik with Mindworks TTP. We walked around a bit and got a bite to eat at The Gateway. We had a really good talk about all kinds of stuff including the TTP Summit and the TTP Conference in the summer. We left and went our separate ways to our hotels.
On my way back I came across one of my favorite things, a bright blaze pink/orange flag on a stick. :) In some areas in Salt Lake City there are these flags that you are suppose to carry with you when you cross in a crosswalk. I just LOVE picking up that stick, waving it proudly as I can, and crossing the street. There were a few cars that had to stop. I giggled and laughed all the way back to the hotel. I know, it is really stupid but it is one of those simple pleasures that make me smile.

Novell BrainShare 2010, the flight out
How interesting it is. On my way out to SLC, on the short flight to Minneapolis, I sat next to a semi-retired business owner from West Bend.
We shared niceties. He asked me what I do and his eyes lit up. He shared with me what he was reading. It was an idea/strategy plan on how businesses must change from the traditional industrial revolution model to what is call the "knowledge-based business model"
He shared me me that the basic idea behind this model is access to information and the capacity of people to take this information and transform or put it all together it into something more useful than the sum of its parts.
Sharing that he is a senior citizen, he shared how difficult he found to unlearn and relearn a philosophy of business that he embraced for nearly 50 years. However, once he got it, he begin to understand how crippled his company has been by hiring the cheapest labor, who, in his own words, are the least educated and least intelligent people he could find. There is the common practice in getting a body for the least cost. He's had to retrain himself that in the information/knowledge revolution the smartest people are the commodity.
Strange though, he didn't blame the educational system. So many people are ready to begin pointing fingers and say 'if only they would ...'. His stroke was much broader.
He says that the success of our grandfathers and great-grandfathers have lulled us into becoming lethargic both intellectually and work minded. Once we worked our tails off to survive, now our culture feels we are owed a survival, and a fairly cushy one.
The people can produce change are paralyzed by those who resist it. As long as those who feel owed something are able to feed off of and take from those who do work, they won't have to work! And as long as there are more people that can vote for someone who won't make them work and will take from those who will work, we'll have an upside down society.
Now, what does this have to do with technology? This guy will not hire anyone who doesn't know technology. He has a series of technology questions that usually have nothing to do with their job function. He is so set on the idea that information and knowledge is the next revolution that he makes sure his employees are smart. How cool is that.
More tomorrow.
