Hello Team As a KDE enthusiast I am confident that KDE will stay around for a long time and stay dominant on the home user front. I do not really have any official capacity here, but I still feel quite part of this amazing journey called openSUSE. I hope I can say these words and won't get into too much trouble .... the focus on Gnome is needed to be able to grow our business user base and focus our internal development effort to what is achievable. I find this all very logical and commendable. I want to personally give the certainty to our majority of kde users, that KDE will still be maintained via openSUSE.org and my own effort, if this is required. I am sure that we will not lack kde packagers in the future. I am sure I speak on behalf of many at Novell/SUSE that see change a must to be able to tackle the market leader in the coming years. I am in no doubt that concentrating the development effort is a goal we will achieve internally as we are preparing ourselves to exchange million dollar punches on the market place. We are de facto a lean, mean fighting machine to grow Linux to the next level. Concentrating development effort is in this scenario inevitable. I do hope that the confusion around the false rumors on KDE's and openSUSE,can be seen as being/getting ready for 2006, the year in which Linux has the break through. Without focus only luck determines outcome. With focus we are just about certain to prevail ;) So refute further runours here our official view: http://linuxtoday.com/infrastructure/2005110500426NWSSNV Cheers Andreas openSUSE is SUPER: To help in the SUSE Performance Enhanced Release project visit http://www.opensuse.org/SUPER

I will be happy to mantain KDE also, if it will be necessary. I'm using it since KDE 2.x and I don't want to change the distribution only because is not having KDE support (which I don't think it will happen) :-) Cheers, -- Damian Mihai Liviu Mobile: +40 741 226993; Fax: +1 347-632-4117 Phone : +1 360-526-6441; +1 347-632-4117; +44 0870-3403339 URL: http://liviudm.blogspot.com
