Novell’s CEO will be a speaker fairly soon. His presentation will take place in New York.
Other keynoters include Marie Hattar, VP of network systems and security solutions at Cisco; and Ronald W. Hovsepian, president and chief executive of Novell. Hattar is expected to discuss trends in data centers and videoconferencing, and Hovsepian is expected to address the latest in virtualization.
Not much has happened with Novell in the past week, despite the LinuxWorld expo. There was this press release, however, which reveals another loose connection to Novell.
Tan Qureshi started his business in 1988, following a multi-year career with General Motors and EDS. An Ottowa native, he transferred to Ontario to manage IT infrastructure support at a local GM manufacturing operation, armed with deep experience on a broad range of hardware and software platforms, including DEC VAX, HP, Compaq, Microsoft and Novell.
Initial work in his newly created company focused almost exclusively on Novell platforms. Over time it became clear to Qureshi that Microsoft applications would ultimately be most valued and required by his core customers.

I have just finished downloading the latest batch of updates and patches for my PC, which totaled more than 250 megabytes.

Novell was also mentioned in relation the the DNS stir-up.
BIND is distributed by vendors such as Novell, Red Hat and Sun Microsystems, all of which have released the updated versions of the ISC’s software to their customers and urged IT managers to install the upgrades
