●● Smear Campaign Against Boycott Novell (Updated)

Posted in Boycott Novell, Novell, OpenSUSE at 2:04 pm by Dr. Roy Schestowitz

Headline modified (was: “OpenSUSE Board Member and Colleagues/Devs Launch Smear Campaign Against Boycott Novell (Updated)”) due to uncertainty or lack of sufficiently concrete evidence

How low Novell has sunk…

Would Novell or its community resort to gaming the system in Digg, FS Daily, and Ubuntu Forums? Would new accounts be opened merely to fuel this effort and “yes men” engage in a sockpuppet act? It sure seems so. (Hi, Francis)

Congratulations, Novell and/or OpenSUSE. You have reached an all-time low. Lower than Miguel de Icaza'a threats.

Rebutting all the libel you guys have spread would not be worth the effort. So, we’ll finish off with the famous S.u.S.E. words: “Have a lot of fun!” █

“Some years back, Microsoft practiced a lot of dirty tricks using online mavens to go into forums and create Web sites extolling the virtues of Windows over OS/2. They were dubbed the Microsoft Munchkins, and it was obvious who they were and what they were up to.”

Update: In the IRC channel it has just been pointed out that “some openSUSE articles have shown up on FSDaily’s queue and are being upvoted by many [of] the same people.”
