Thanks for your input.
It has disappointed me how NOVL management seems to keep their employees on a short leash on this issue when this would be the LOWEST COST form of marketing & promotion of Novell technologies, solution, and competitive advantages in the industry.
Your thoughts are exactly my thoughts in respect that instead of gagging their most knowledgeable and positively biased forms of world-wide advertising, NOVL management should develop an internal policy and associated education that would strongly encourage NOVL staff to publicly participate and promote NOVL.
Think about it NOVL Executives: NOVL Staff are a wealth of valueable NOVL information that could very likely influence the industry on a medium (the Internet) that is flooded by your customers eyeballs! If thats not a "No-Brainer", I dont know what is.
Educate your staff on knowing the limits and bounds by which they should abide by when communicating, and then let them go out and preach, influence, educate, stimulate, excite, promote. I know that most other companies encourage that, even the very conservative IBM. IBM employees know their rules, but beyond that, they are not restricted from promoting their company and its products. Why would they?
What an untapped form of free advertising being missed. What a waste.
Well, I guess thats what we are are for. Too bad they don't pay us - LOL! Don't know if I could ever become a NOVL employee if ever asked - I would hate to give up my freedom to promote a company who's technology I truely respect. Isnt that ironic Scott now that you think about it.
I was copied on numerous mails which indicated a specific policy being developed, however I was not privy to the results of that effort
Now thats a great policy Scott, one that no one is privy to the results. LOL. "OK people - here is our new policy on NOVL staff communicating on public forums - have you all read it inside these 4 walls? - now eat the paper its written on and dont tell your staff" HEHEHEHE - sorry - felt a little light-hearted there for a moment.
