This is just like the last time SCO filed a reorganization plan.
It's just been announced [PDF] that Monday's hearing, originally scheduled as a hearing on SCO's Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization [PDF] and the related Disclosure Statement [PDF] and Motion for an Order [PDF] confirming a scheduling hearing, etc., will instead be just a status hearing.
What? Issues? With a SCO reorganization plan?
You can get a hint of the depth of them by reading Exhibit A [PDF] attached to the latest Berger Singerman bill, showing the breakdown of time spent on them, to the tune of approximately $13,000. Look at the subhead beginning on page 14, "Plan and Disclosure Statement," and you'll see a long list of activity at Berger Singerman, with meetings and phones calls and conferences and emails and strategy sessions. How to respond to IBM's and Novell's various objections? You'll see that Joseph McMahon of the US Trustee's office appears in the list also, so there have evidently been discussions going on, but if they'd figured out solutions to all the issues, they wouldn't need a status conference. No doubt this reflects the seriousness of the objections raised.
