Hi all, I will not be at SHARE in Boston, there will be some new faces who are new to mainframe from SUSE SE team. I know you folks will treat them kindly :)
That said the real reason for S.u.S.E is related to a former law in Germany which required a company's name to reflect what they did. Hence, S.u.S.E stood for Software- und System-Entwicklung . Software and Systems Programming. Now ask an American to pronounce that correctly. :-) Cheers, Peter >>> Rob van der Heij <rvdh...@gmail.com> 8/2/2013 5:07 AM >>> On 2 August 2013 13:45, Billy R.

Did someone miss the fact that it's Friday? First thing today I asked Peter offline for ugly details. Silly me I thought the lowercase was just lost in translation through US code pages. If nothing else, maybe Mark will shed some light on this at SHARE during one of the social events. That's one of the cool things of attending SHARE. But if it's obscure German legal stuff, maybe even he did not have a need to know (LOL) Rob > > Thanks, > > Billy > > > PS It is SUSE now :-) SuSE was an artifact of an obscure German law, > > which is now no longer in effect.... for 10 years now.
