Novell this week dissolved its Linux Impact Team (LIT), headed by Nancy Faigen, and rolled the members of LIT into the regional sales teams. While disruptive to the individuals involved (and the LIT had some of Novell's very best employees - John Vigeant before he went to XenSource, Seth Shaw (not sure where he landed), Walter Knapp, etc.), I think this is a good move for Novell.

While disruptive to the individuals involved (and the LIT had some of Novell’s very best employees – John Vigeant before he went to XenSource, Seth Shaw (not sure where he landed), Walter Knapp, etc.), I think this is a good move for Novell. It’s time to stop treating Linux as a distinct part of the company’s business, and make it the company’s business. Everyone in the company’s business.This has been the case since SUSE was acquired, of course, but having a distinct team to focus on Linux almost gave others an excuse to focus on it a little less. A psychological thing, perhaps, but very real in my opinion.At any rate, I think it’s a good move on Novell’s part. I’m sure there will be members of LIT who won’t like it, but this is in the company’s best interest. Open Source
