I understand where you are coming from Kostas, and share similar
concerns about Facebook, but I use it because my family, friends and
colleagues do - just as many current and potential users and
contributors do.
We certainly need to take a look at Diaspora (though I have heard some
concerns regarding its user agreement) but I don't think we should
just walk away from Facebook. There's no need to "throw the baby out
with the bathwater" as the expression goes.
I don't think we want to invest a -lot- of time on our facebook
presence, but people do use it as a means of keeping in touch and
regular page updates are seen by many who might not visit other pages.
Most content and effort should go into the Wiki and openSUSE News as
well as the personal blogs that make up the broader 'Planet' (if I
understand that correctly) and use social networking to push users
back to that content where possible.
(People don't like 100% automated updates, personal touch is needed,
but we can still work to promote our own domains.)
I think Facebook will eventually be superceded by another social
networking model of some kind.

Facebook is against your Freedom. Don't use Facebook. Facebook is not your friend [1] and you won't find me at Facebook [2] because at 01/01/2011 I deleted my account which I hold almost two years now. You don't have so many friends [3] or not so many people like your page or project or anything you advertise.
Help Diaspora [4], which is a social network built by the hacker community. But have in mind that this is still a fragmented island on the world wide web [5] and disconnected from all other URIs.
Happy New Year!
