At least one person who has recently left Novell amid their restructuring (looks like he may have left before the layoff) is already busilly engaged at a cool, very interesting company, Alfresco Software, an open source content-management company based in the UK.
On his blog, Matt Asay notes the change of direction, and his good wishes for Novell:
It’s a bittersweet feeling. Novell has been good to me these past 3.25 years. It’s a good company, with great people. I made some strong friendships while there, and helped an organization undergo a dramatic shift (moving from proprietary to open source), and come out standing. Looking at Novell’s current financial results, it’s easy to forget just how far the company has come, and what it has accomplished. The cynic will say the company went through it all for nothing - that it has no future.
That cynic is wrong.
You go, Matt. Good luck to you, and all of Novell’s current and previous employees. We know there are great things afoot.
