Ubuntu reaches out to embarrassed SuSE devs

[Andy Green]

''
Novell’s decision to go to great lengths to circumvent the patent 
framework clearly articulated in the GPL has sent shockwaves through the 
community. If you are an OpenSUSE developer who is concerned about the 
long term consequences of this pact, you may be interested in some of 
the events happening next week as part of the Ubuntu Open Week:

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuOpenWeek

We are hosting a series of introductory sessions for people who want to 
join the Ubuntu community - in any capacity, including developers and 
package maintainers. If you want to find out how Ubuntu works, how to 
contribute or participate, or how to get specific items addressed, there 
will be something for you. I’ll also be on IRC on Tuesday 28th to answer 
any questions you may have of me specifically, such as Luis’ questions 
about our position on software patents.
