Brent Marinaccio of HotLinuxJobs confirms that Novell is in the midst of layoffs. I heard the same thing yesterday from other sources. Hopefully the people affected will be able to find good jobs elsewhere.
As noted before, I'd be happy to help put anyone who asks in touch with good open-source companies. There are plenty, including mine (Alfresco). We and others are hiring at a rapid clip.
