Novell does not chose 3 members. They will decide the '5th' member.
Anyone working for Novell, and contributing to openSUSE should be
allowed to put their hands up to be on the board. But it is up to Novell
employees and non-Novell employees to vote for them to actually get the
spot.

this is unusefull world, sorry.

Can a Novell employee vote against his employer? to be fired?

so there will always be 3 novell and 2 non-novell

I don't mean at all novell employees are not good persons, but nobody
can have two hats...
There are no two hats. Why did Novell launch openSUSE and maintain strong
support now over 2 and half years? To do something against openSUSE? This I
doubt strongly.
Of course Novell likes to have a say in openSUSE and there might be sometimes
different opinions. But the current board and the Guidng Principels already
show that Novell opens up and want to listen to the community and drive
opensuse together - not against - the community.
