SuSE, openSUSE Suse co-founder and kernel team member Hubert Mantel has resigned from Novell, the server software company that acquired the German Linux company in 2004. Mantel announced the move on a Suse Linux mailing list Tuesday, and Novell confirmed the move Wednesday. "I just decided to leave Suse/Novell. This is not (any) longer the company I founded 13 years ago," Mantel said in the e-mail. "I have been the maintainer of the Suse kernel for more than a decade now. I'm very confident the Novell management will find a competent successor very quickly."

Red Hat should take the opportunity to hire him. I mean, if Novell's going to hemmorage good employees, there's no reason for RH to not enjoy some of them.

Besides, most corporate mergers turn out to be ill-advised or total failures. No surprise about this one.
