Novell used to be "The NetWare Company." Today, Novell is one of the most dynamic open source advocates and drivers on the planet. How did Novell manage this transformation and, more importantly, what is Novell doing to manage competing forces on the desktop (KDE vs. Gnome), foster open source innovation (OpenOffice, Mono, etc.), and generally push open source to the next level of adoption? In this keynote, the architect of Novell's open source strategy details the company's vision for open source on the desktop and server, and what it is doing to bring that vision to fruition.

This keynote presentation was recorded at the Open Source Convention (OSCON) 2004 in Portland, Oregon. See our list of other OSCON presentations.
