blozza2070 notes the news that Jeff Jaffe has been appointed CEO of the World Wide Web Consortium. Until January Jaffe was CTO at Novell and, while his name hasn't come up very often in this community, he is one of the architects of the Novell-Microsoft patent deal. A reading of Jaffe's blog while at Novell tends to paint him as a software patent supporter, Microsoft apologist, and no fan of the FSF. This strongly worded page at Boycott Novell features copious links to support the above characterization.

I can't fathom how people like that get jobs like this...
He's probably just a better bullshitter than the other bullshitters in the bullshitting game.

Ah, yes. Al Nugent. You're right about him. When he came to CA from Novell, I thought things were going to change for the better technically. Alas, nobody can move a dinosaur.
