Novell’s Linux Battleplan

Novell will begin its local Linux drive with nationwide seminars for partners and customers early next year to educate and train its channel in SuSE Linux.

Its acquisition of SuSE Linux is expected to be approved by February.

The vendor had plans to stage introductory Linux seminars around this time, Novell’s manager of partner relationships, Steve Martin, said.

“It’ll be one of the biggest things we do next year, if not the biggest,” he said.

“Nothing’s official yet, but we’ll have an introductory seminar to Linux which will be free for partners and potential partners, and then sales and technical training,” Martin said.

“The key thing is we’ll be exposing them to Linux. We’ll be showing them how to implement Linux solutions and how to position themselves in the Linux space.”

He said Novell’s US operation was currently developing SuSE training courses.

About This Site

As a guy who occasionally curates art shows and wrangles artists together, I often have to edit and post artist bios, profile pictures, and artwork images. This can be a problem, since many artists and writers aren’t used to selling themselves. Artists rarely know how to present their art for display in a brochure, and writers aren’t used to writing about themselves.

Writers often treat the bio like it’s an interview or something. Maybe like they’re having a conversation with you, the reader. While it may work sometimes, the most common way to write a bio is to write in the 3rd person.

I’m like those writers, and I’m talking to you directly, unlike the common way to do a bio. You should see my About page. It makes sense to me, since this is a bit which describes my blog’s website. When I get famous enough that I don’t have time to talk to you, I’ll have an intern write everything in 3rd person. Until then, you get to talk to me.

Like blogs of old, this one is a personal document of the comings and goings of me. Articles I’ve written, links I’ve posted, videos I liked, etc. Here, a first-person perspective is the way to go, at least for now. So, this is my site. I’m D. H. McKee, a sometimes artist, sometimes writer. Mostly just a guy on the internet.
