Novell Linux desktop architect goes to Google (DesktopLinux)

DesktopLinux reports that Robert Love has resigned as chief architect of Novell's Linux desktop efforts. "Before serving as Novell's Linux desktop architect, Love worked -- and still does -- as a Linux kernel and GNOME developer. He also worked with MontaVista, the well-known embedded Linux company. While working for MontaVista, Love spearheaded the project of improving Linux's real-time capabilities via a "preemptible kernel patch" that is now a standard feature in the mainstream kernel." Robert Love will be working at Google's Open Source Program Office.

Does that designated project time support a third edition of that wonderful kernel book, one hopes?

It seems like his upcoming book will be this one, not the 3rd edition of linux kernel development: http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/9780596009588
