When I first hired into the Linux Impact Team at Novell, I made sure that it would be on my job description. (At EDS, I was expected to get my real job done on top of whatever I did on my own time. Thanks to my co-workers picking up a lot of the slack, that was easier than it would have been otherwise.) My new job doesn't include this as part of it, but my manager is one of those that believes in doing what is right for the company, even if it's not part of his particular charter. (I've run into a number of those here, by the way. _Very_ refreshing.) The team that is officially responsible for fielding problems view me as more of a help than a bother, so we get along well. If I get something wrong, they know how to call me and set me straight. If they think I can help them on something, they don't hesitate to contact me. All of which is largely what I hoped for when I joined Novell.
