So, BrainShare 2013 is over and I missed it all. Well, almost all of it, thanks to Danita Zanre, Tom Hafeman, Willem Bagchus, and Susie Winterhoff, I got to see lots of pics and a few videos so I don't feel quite so left out.
Post conference reports indicate that our "old" Novell is back and that the conference was a success. Lots of conversations about the new products, the keynotes were upbeat and useful, and Filr was in heavy use. I have yet to try to activate my Filr account, but definitely want to get my hands on it. Might be time to upgrade my internet so that I can have a dedicated IP for my play lab...that or get some cloud space somewhere.
Dates are still being discussed for BrainShare 2014, I'm saving up my pennies and vacation days to be there, whenever it is announced.
I also learned about a smartphone app that I had not been aware of previously. It's probably been out there for some time, but I'm not a huge smartphone app user. Battery life being what it is, and being spoiled by my old Blackberry, I tend to use my smartphone for as a phone.
Available for iOS and Android, search for "learningcentral", making sure you select the one made by Novell (there are more than one on the Android side at least). Use this app to locate and download materials from ATT Live, SUSECon and BrainShare. Pretty sweet!
Overall, it seems like Novell is set for a revival. Hopefully the Attachmate folks will have better marketing success than the Novell of the past. There's no need to repeat those mistakes!
