General Data

Meet the experts behind Novell Open Enterprise Server!
Novell would like to invite you and your chapter members to register today to join the OES Insider, a new program which connects you directly with the product managers and engineers building Novell products. We've started this program to celebrate the launch of Novell Open Enterprise Server. When you sign up, you'll receive a biweekly e-mail from an OES team member discussing their favorite feature of Novell Open Enterprise Server and how it will help optimize your IT environment.

Still have questions? Then you'll want to attend the on-line live chat sessions, where you'll have the opportunity to interact with the product managers and engineers in real-time. Trying to configure iFolder on Linux? Got a blip in your iSCSI NetWare to Linux migration? Have a suggestion for enhancements for future releases of OES? Then don't miss your chance to get your questions answered and make your voice heard! Go to www.novell.com/upgrade for more info about the OES Insider newsletter and live chat series. You can view the schedule of upcoming topics and take a look at our first edition.

Novell Connection Magazine - The Next Generation: NUI members have always enjoyed a free subscription to Novell Connection magazine (it did, after all, grow out of the original NUI newsletter). This will not change as the new publisher takes over. We are, however, asking all members that wish to continue with this service to re-subscribe using the new Novell Connection subscription page. This is due to the fact that the mailing addresses in our database are not kept as current as is needed for this process. We apologize for this inconvenience but hope you will agree that it is a small price to pay for the valuable resource. Please note: International shipping charges may apply. Please check the subscription form for your country.

Two New Webcasts: Recently we have had the good fortune of having Dan Veitkus, V.P. of Novell Training Services, and Ed Anderson, V.P. of Novell Nterprise Services, give special presentations for the NUI audience.

Find out how Novell Training Services is working to ensure that Novell professionals continue to have the best in training and certification opportunities both for Novell's traditional products and for the new Linux solutions.

Watch Ed Anderson's presentation given to a joint audience of NUI and Linux User Group members in NYC. Ed discusses Novell's Linux initiatives.
