audience is listening only, contributors are taking part. openSUSE is
no big band (maybe sometimes :)) it's a project which lives from
contributions not 'feeding customers'.

That's why I previously said we need more contributors, no users, no
customers, no leechers and no 'audience'. Don't get me wrong. As
mentioned, even if you submit a bug and give feedback, you contribute.

It's US who makes the project vital.

Best Regards
Marcus
