Eric, how bout' this. Don't you think they could've done it different? <sigh...> Joe... ====================================================================== Dec 03, 1996 Novell Cancels Developers' Conference (12/02/96; 1:41 p.m. EST) By Joseph C. Panettieris, Windows Magazine Novell has hit a major bump in its race to head off Microsoft and evangelize its Internet/intranet strategy to software developers. Specifically, the networking giant has canceled DeveloperNet '97, a developers' conference that was to be held this week in Orlando, Fla. Insiders at Novell say DeveloperNet's plug was pulled because there was not enough time to plan the show, which was expected to be attended by several thousand people. Novell first announced plans for the conference on Sept. 17, but now says it will incorporate DeveloperNet '97 into its next BrainShare conference, to be held March 23-28 in Salt Lake City, Utah. DeveloperNet's cancellation comes at a crucial time for Novell. Though NetWare remains the leading network operating system, Novell missed the application server revolution increasingly dominated by Windows NT and UNIX. To compensate, Novell is making a late run at the Internet revolution with its directory services technology and IntranetWare (a rebranded NetWare 4.11 with bundled intranet and Web services). A properly planned developer conference would certainly have helped Novell's Internet initiative.
