Like some other [open]SUSE developers I was casted and am now forced to look for a new day job. It could have happened in better economic times for sure. :-(
Pointers to new interesting job positions are gladly accepted. Bonus points the more they have to do with Open Source, Linux, Qt and KDE.

Bad news, late answer.
No good news. I'm sorry for you.
End of Jan. Eva Brucherseifer was hiring. I have no idea if this could be an opportunity for you.

A Waste
Novell should have been putting you all to good use making a Linux based Netware replacement (fully open sourced mind you) and increasing usage of eDirectory and Groupwise (the declines of which are the reason this is happening) and through that revenue, making the open source work pay and creating great surrounding open source software to stem the exodus. Sadly, Novell is a dead company and you probably got out at the right time believe it or not.

Damn...
Hi Stephan,
sad to hear...actually firing a long time SuSE employee is really a bad habit, but we don't know what's going on in a boards mind.
Anyways, hope to see you somehow this year on some conferences, and even if you are coming from another distro, I would send you to the brownish/blueish distro career page...eventually you'll find a position which suites you and at least the blueish distro needs some more people to work on it.
And, beineri, if you have time next month, looks like I'm visiting NBG workwise, we could catch up for a drink and some good food :)
Regards,

community links
For a community distro to fire the links in-between the community and the project, does not really make sense. For me, the people active on IRC are my connection to the openSUSE-project. Thus my connection to the project will decrease with every link that gets lost.
I wish you all the best and hope that this new beginning will be a new change for the better.
I'm sorry
Just out of curiosity, why did Novell fire so many OpenSuSE developers? AFAIK, you were a good employee and a talented developer (unless N is planning to drop KDE >:(. (no, I don't want to start a conspiracy theory.))
Sad news indeed, and a big
Sad news indeed, and a big blow for openSUSE. All the best on getting the right new job soon, Stephan.
can we somehow vote somewhere
can we somehow vote somewhere to have you back? :) But I guess you have another job by now..
Thanks
Thanks to everyone for your comments. The "soon" is fortunately not as important as "the right job" :-)...
What a f..k surprise :-(
What? Why? I have no words. I can´t believe it. How could they do that? How could they fired one of the most active people and in my case one of the appreciated openSUSE/KDE developers?
Stehpan, i´m really, really sorry.
But i don´t worry, that guy like you, will be have a problem to find a new job. Good luck. ;-)
I´m getting worry about the future openSUSE project.
