On their conference website, they have a funny animated spoof of LotR (in Realvideo) that they apparently showed today:

It features Dennis Ritchie, Linus Torvalds, and Novell's Chris Stone in a fight against the Nazguls of proprietary software.

The source of ifolder is GPL'ed.
There is no reason why ifolder could not be ported to another programing language/system.

What's so bad about Mono? (other than it sounds like a disease)

Keynote speech contains key to why Novell is adopting Linux

Posted Mar 23, 2004 12:43 UTC (Tue) by NZheretic (guest, #409) [Link]

The Monday, March 22 Keynote by Jack Messman and Chris Stone ( http://www.novell.com/brainshare/keynotes/2004mondaykeynote.ram ) includes a video presentation by Duwyan Anderson, Vice President, Information services and technology, Manhattan Construction Company. It includes a number of extraordinary stats on how much deploying Suse Linux has saved Manhattan's IT costs. However Duwyan's last statement was not your typical "vendor is great" type found in similar keynote presentations, instead his last word were: "Single source solutions are just no longer palatable in this industry".
