At least between GNOME and openSUSE I would risk to say it would be an awesome experience (marketing wise) to work together on this.
the community that people who prefer GNOME are switching to Debian and Fedora - how do we capitalize on that?
This I don't understand... could you elaborate? Who is swapping to Fedora and why? our users? or Ubuntu users... This is very interesting Paul, please provide more info, because if that is the case (even if it's a rumor), it's also an opportunity for us and we can benefit from it directly and indirectly.

I would say, at this time, a small number of Ubuntu users (mostly GNOME developers) are switching away from Ubuntu to Debian or Fedora as they disagree with some of Ubuntu's direction, like Unity. One example is Christian Hergert, developer of PerfKit, who after the Boston Summit tweeted: http://twitter.com/#!/vwduder/status/1697293258457088 (And has since switched to Fedora). There is some rumbling in the community of others as well. In my opinion, these are early adopters and more GNOME-centric developers, but it may be a preview of some user reaction once Ubuntu 11.04 comes out. I'd be curious to see the openSUSE marketing team work on a plan to help migrate Ubuntu users to openSUSE and make the transition easier.
