SUSE inches towards independence, sold for $2.5 billion
The Open Source community will be closely monitoring what impact this acquisition will have on Open Source culture within the company. In my previous conversation with Brauckmann, I have learned that he is extremely bullish about Open Source and despite acquisitions manages to maintain the soul of SUSE. I won’t expect anything different from this acquisition. I talked to Richard Brown, Chairman of openSUSE Board who is vacating in UK and received a call from Brauckmann to ensure that nothing changes for the community. Which speaks volumes about how much SUSE values its community.
Brown told me, “As a SUSE employee I’m exited about my employers new owners. As an openSUSE Contributor I’m not only excited but thrilled at the proactive steps SUSE has taken to reassure the community, which really shows just how well SUSE understands how to operate as part of the open source world”
