Novell has launched DeveloperNet Professional ($299), a yearly developer subscription. DeveloperNet Professional is the primary channel for the delivery of development tools, information, and technical support to our developer audience. The main benefits of the DeveloperNet Professional level are the two service requests (direct phone support from Novell Developer Support engineers), early access to products such as Novell Linux Desktop, SUSE Linux enterprise server, and OES, and a welcome kit with Novell products on media. If you would like to join or would like more information, visit the program page.
DeveloperNet Website Moving to WIKI
We're moving the current DeveloperNet site with all its technical content to a WIKI-based service. Our goal is for all DeveloperNet members to contribute and become equal participants in the development of the site. It will also allow for faster updating of information by Novell engineers and DeveloperNet members. If you would like to get a sneak peek of this new service, check out http://developer.novell.com/wiki.
