Re: [native-lang] [Fwd: (fwd) Urgent: Organizations using open source]

Does anyone have contact information for Novell/Ximian?

Okay, it's not a very creative idea, but it /is/ a company that moved to 
FOSS. In the mean time, you can use this:

http://www.novell.com/linux/migrate/

It includes Novell's own migration story.

Best,
Daniel.
