The latest Novell news
BrainShare is traditionally the event that Novell chooses to make key announcements and release new product versions—or new products alltogether.
This year's announcements include the soft-launch of a new corporate theme and other key items to look for in the coming year. The BrainShare press room has the full run-down of announcements and events that were launched on Monday March 16.
Strategic partnerships
BrainShare would not be the conference it is without the vested interest and support of key partners from around the globe. And if you haven't noticed already, there were some really big names in attendance at BrainShare.
BrainShare sponsors and exhibitors put together a very specialized set of offerings just for the BrainShare crowd, making their presence here that much more impactful. Plus, the Tuesday night Sponsor Party is a crazy good time.
