Hello,


2010/6/10 Basil Chupin <blchupin@xxxxxxxxxxxx>:
Trifle Menot is asking the same questions and making the same observations
as myself - but I have to admit with a bit more reservation than myself.
Nothing has changed it seems: people are just not, as Trifle stated, fooled
by horse-manure (my interpretation, btw).

Trifle Menot is not asking questions. He is saying a lot of things do
not work, and he is proposing solutions that are clearly not feasible
and, in my opinion, not even correct.
If you carefully read what he stated, he changed his mind many times
in a few hours. First he says Novell is the problem, and that openSUSE
should become completely independent from Novell, then he wrote he
doesn't care who pays the bills and it is fine if Novell does that, as
long as it doesn't influence the project, then again he identifies the
source of the problems with the MS/N deal, meaning that Novell is the
problem again, and so on.

In addition, he comes here saying he won't give any kind of help. This
automatically excludes him from those who should be listened to,
because a community is based on volunteers and contributors. If you
don't contribute, you don't acquire the reputation, respect and, in
the end, the right to influence the project itself. It is as simple as
that.

You can ask questions in many ways, and either Per and Trifle are not
doing this in a constructive manner, especially because they appear to
be uninformed on quite some point, and to use what they think is true
at their convenience to make their point.

About your statement on 11.3, what's wrong with it? If you found a
problem report it, since the distribution is still under development
and not released yet.
