I for one am heartened by terrorpup's and jdd's pro-community spirit in their 
replies to this email thread.  Thank you Terrorpup and jdd for encouraging 
productive action in a cooperative spirit.  After all, the whole point of a 
community is to work together.  

On several occasions this past year our community has seemed quick to delve 
into the "Survivor model" wanting to harshly vote others "off the island". Yet 
as a community we advertise that we espouse the openSUSE guiding principles of 
"working together in an open, transparent and friendly manner".

A timely quote from Booker T. Washington crossed my desk this morning,  "There 
are two ways of exerting ones strength; one is pushing down, the other is 
pulling up."  2012 will soon be upon us. Ringing in the new year traditionally 
brings a spirit of newness and invites everyone to set new goals and 
aspirations. Let's take advantage of the new year spirit and focus our strength 
on pulling others up in an open, transparent and friendly manner.

Happy Holidays.

Alan Clark
