I recorded a series of podcasts today for the new Novell Communities site.

Usual delays – see posts below – but should be up and posted in mid-February.

Topics for discussion: ZENworks 7, ZENworks Asset Management, Patching and BrainShare 2006.

Cool.

Coolblogs update

This is delayed. Sigh.

End of quarter IT lockdown is the reason. Means that our internal IT people do not touch IT systems during quarter and year end periods.

Looks like another month of waiting.. I’m still collecting the requests for the first post 🙂

Talk about time to value:

Novell’s desktop software distribution products have been licensed enterprise wide in this deal, enabling the move to a pervasive managed desktop environment with a lower total cost of ownership throughout the NHS. Novell will create ‘appliance-like’ solutions using their ZenWorks technology that can be deployed across an NHS organisation in as little as two days.

If anyone wants a copy in PDF just give me a shout. If anyone wants to know how I did this – please also get in touch.
