Okay, the headline is a bit over the top. But fans of The VAR Guy have come to expect some pumped-up drama on this site. So here we go. A few days ago, The VAR Guy openly wondered if Novell (based in Waltham, Mass.) would have any marketing surprises in store for Red Hat Summit, which runs June 18-20 in Boston. Well, The VAR Guy finally has some answers.
A Novell spokeswoman says the company has an ongoing marketing campaign that includes Novell banners (see photo) in the Hynes Convention Center. Anyone care to guess where Red Hat Summit is scheduled to be held?
Will those banners stay up during Red Hat Summit? Does Red Hat even care about The VAR Guy’s lame attempts to stir up controversy?
Regardless, the summit should be worthwhile. The VAR Guy expects to hear about five key trends at the event, and he also expects Cisco Systems — yes, Cisco — to be there in full force.
Now, if only The VAR Guy would make a surprise appearance as well…

Seriously? They are going with “Mission Accomplished” on a banner? Why not just write “Epic FAIL” or “PwN3D!”
