Please elaborate with a name and context. Otherwise I can neither understand
nor take that comment for serious, sorry.

The boosters are a team with an own identity, idea and roadmap. As most
teams in openSUSE. We make things happen and maybe we sometimes could be
more active to let more teams join. Not sure if other teams do that,
but you're right, it would be better if all did. On the other hand I do 
not see that we try to lock somebody out. On the last three events 
I took part boosters _and_ other community members where on the booth and
all other activities with big fun and good outcome.

Armies IMO can not do good ;-) Still for me the best way to create an
openSUSE evangelist is to grab some stuff and GO to the event. 
We do that whenever we can, spending a high amount of personal time. 

Please note that the boosters is not an event team on the first hand, 
we neither have the financial nor people resources for that. Dancing all 
stages is something in the job description of the community manager, so
there is more need to sync with him. We more or less do that on top, but 
we want to do that with the biggest outcome for the project. That is 
what Hennes mail was heading to. Its not that he says we never will 
join an event any more.

Can you elaborate which specific problem you mean, I am still not sure if
I understand correctly what the problem is.
