Novell Cool Blogs

I’ve been splitting my time blogging between Novell Cool Blogs, my family blog and this site.

I’ve now posted over twenty posts to the Novell site in a month; and I’ve been trying to slow down. I don’t want to make that site ‘mine’. However I’m still posting double that of others.

I’ll try to keep my posts coming on all three blogs – but for Novell related things I’ll probably cross post to Novell Cool Blogs. I’ve just posted on Windows Vista – I think it’s the start of an interesting thread.

BrainShare 2006 wrap up – and Novell Open Audio at BrainShare

It is the weekend after BrainShare – so I guess it’s going to be pretty slow for most of the Novell Cool Bloggers for a couple of days.

Personally – I had a great time this last week; running with some really entertaining and informative keynotes (Wednesday and Thursday), breakout sessions – as well as analyst and press events.

The highlight as always was meeting with customers and partners – you really are knowlegable, loyal – and remarkably well informed )

One final piece of BrainShare that I need to plug are the ‘from the show floor’ podcasts from Ted Haeger and Novell Open Audio. Take a look here at the list of current short podcasts – Ted and the team seemed to have got behind the scenes and talked to everyone at BrainShare.

Who are the best bloggers?

According to Shel Israel – Product Managers are one of the best sets of bloggers. I like this sentiment – I also agree!

Product managers and other people who are passionate and knowledgeable about the details of a product are often better.

A product manager … is mostly loyal to his or her product and accountable to customers. The product manager is often tied to happy customers.

Product managers also speak in a language closer to everyday people.

Novell Cool Blogs – first week

Novell Cool Blogs has been officially up and running for less than a week – but it’s working just great.

Slowly but surely Novell technologists from across the company are being introduced to blogging and let loose on the wider blogosphere.

Seems like I’m the only one posting on a daily basis – I’ve got a lot to post though 🙂 I must work out a way to slow down and spread out the load.

Novell Cool Blogs – what a week

Novell Cool Blogs finally went live and public this week – we’ve now got half a dozen regular posters – and seemingly hundreds of readers.

The next challenge is keeping up the quality and quantity of posts; we also plan to add other Novell people to the blogosphere – and finally got out and tell the world about the site!

One challenge we have is making the blog ‘less corporate’ – but still remaining a trusted and valuable source of information.
