Two dimensions meet here: the employer string Novell and the 2014 election cycle. The meeting is $274,643, built from 33 contributions and 2 donors on FEC.gov. Lifetime Novell storage is $8,685,857 (3.2% in this window). The page does not restate a hub; it explains the join — software-employer form text still stored after later acquisitions, not a Novell PAC, a software NAICS rollup, or the firm as a corporate treasury.

Key figures

  • Itemized individual total $274,643 at Novell × 2014.
  • 33 lines / 2 identities (mean $8,323 per line).
  • $8,685,857 is all cycles; $274,643 is 2014 only (3.2%).
  • Grouping type: software-employer form text still stored after later acquisitions.
  • Campaign contributions are not federal awards.

Novell is one axis; 2014 is the other

An industry-cycle page is not a restatement of Novell and not a restatement of 2014. It is the cell where they meet: $274,643, 33 contributions, 2 donors. FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates by employer/industry grouping and election cycle are the source note.

On the employer side, Novell is software-employer form text still stored after later acquisitions. On the cycle side, 2014 is a two-year FEC window, not a single Election Day. Gifts dated in either year of that window sit in $274,643.

Leaving either axis off the citation misstates the record. $8,685,857 is the lifetime Novell bucket. The 2014 hub is every grouping that year. The join is $274,643.

2014 is not the whole Novell story

Novell across all cycles is $8,685,857. Novell in 2014 is $274,643 — about 3.2%. The gap is $8,411,214. Closing that gap would require other cycle joins, which this packet does not list.

A reader who only opens the 2014 overlay still sees $274,643 for this string, not $8,685,857. A reader who only opens the industry hub still needs the year filter to recover $274,643. 2014 holds $274,643 of $8,685,857 for this string — about 3.2%. Other cycles hold $8,411,214 (96.8%). Folding those other cycles into a 2014 citation would misstate the record by $8,411,214.
