Novell Extends Commitment to Java by Licensing Sun's Jini Technology Novell and Sun Agree to Work on Integration of NDS and Jini Technology SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 25 /PRNewswire/ -- Novell®, Inc.(Nasdaq: NOVL - news), today announced a licensing agreement that allows Sun and Novell to explore the possibilities of Java and Jini-enabled devices on networks that support Novell Directory Services® (NDSO). The agreement allows the two companies to examine leveraging the intelligence of NDS and its user and resource data to manage Jini-enabled devices, including consumer and hand-held electronic devices. Jini technology is new Java-based technology from Sun which allows devices to find and use each other on a network. As more and more Jini-enabled devices plug in to networks and form communities of information, organizing and managing these networked devices and information is a challenge that Novell is uniquely poised to address. Novell's directory technology, NDS, recently licensed by Lucent and Nortel Networks is the world's leading directory service with over 40 million users. NDS is a unifying cross-platform infrastructure for managing, securing, accessing and developing to all the major components of a network. ''Jini is about expanding the boundaries of intelligent networking into places never before thought possible,'' commented Bill Joy, Chief Scientist, Sun Microsystems, Inc. ''Clearly what Novell offers with NDS is an opportunity to harness the power of Jini-enabled device communities.'' ''As Java-enabled devices connect to networks and begin to relate with each other, forming communities of information via Jini, organizing and managing these devices and the information they provide becomes a challenge for customers,'' stated Christopher Stone, Novell senior vice president of strategy and corporate development. ''The potential of Jini and NDS equals continued growth without disruption for businesses as they realize the promise of networked devices.'' biz.yahoo.com

I see your point there Paul. If you and/or Fred want to discuss this issue with the person that is strongly involved with the Digital Me project I have the name. Tell me and I can PEM you the name. Novell is very interested in hearing inputs from the industry on what they could do with "Go Forward" Internet Speed project. You might want to express your opinions. Toy
