It's not too clear when she left Novell. John Bailo (with his Novell rah-rah)
has been absent for a while as well. Maybe they both realised that Novell is
no longer a Free software company. They spit at the GPL's spirit and use Linux
to promote personal agendas (platform for proprietary software,
including .NET). They hurt Linux along with Microsoft (OOXML, IP FUD, pricey
interoperability, virtualisation with conditions, etc).
