Microsoft/Novell Open Choice Road Map: What About OSS Community Participation?

View image

Novell and Microsoft added some color and timing today to their plans announced on November 2, 2006 to bring the Windows and SUSE Linux worlds together. Subsequently these plans were blasted by the Free Software Foundation (FSF), Groklaw.net, and other parts of the OSS culture. Assuming anyone in the OSS world will work with them, the Novell WS-Management/Distributed Management Taskforce (DMTF) initiative will have impact on any Windows/Linux interoperability. The other activities are totally in Novell's and Microsoft's control and can move ahead with or without cultural blessings.

If you are in the open source community, using the comments section, let me know if you think it is worthwhile to work on this project with Novell.
