Dean,
You are very much overexpecting and looking for answers too quickly.
First of all, Weekly news is written by the community. It is not some "official" publication from Novell. So, if you're upset that community didn't report anything on the debate, basically, you're upset with yourself because you are part of the same community that writes the Weekly News and you were free to submit an article if you felt it was relevant to the debate.
Never said it was put out by Novell, nor do I expect Novell to publish in the newsletter. I do however expect status updates on pressing issues from an official body.
Basically, your opinions and suggestions on Weekly News are always appreciated. However, I'd like to explain the concepts of Weekly News and how the articles are collected. One of our most important concepts is, "In any large community there will often be opposing views and our Newsletter's role is to report on these, rather than to judge them" as mentioned in "OpenSUSE Weekly News/Guidelines", that is, being as neutral as possible. http://en.opensuse.org/OpenSUSE_Weekly_News/Guidelines Our prior and main news sources are Planet SUSE and lizards.o.o. We also pick up items from mailing lists and forums as needed, but you know, there are so many posts and entries on whole lists and forums so that we can't follow all of them in detail, and in addition, most of the posts on lists are just 'pieces of discussion'. Of cource we know there's a discussion on 'default desktop for openSUSE' which is going on and have already introduced the related blog entry by Zonker in issue 82. http://en.opensuse.org/OpenSUSE_Weekly_News/82#Planet_SUSE However, as far as I know, there's no summary for this discussion ATM yet and I understand the status is 'waiting for the post by Michael'. If you find some blog entries or online articles in which this discussion is well-summarized and - hopefully - neutrally explained, or simply you've wrote a blog entry for that by yourself, please tell us. We always welcome such notifications. ;-) Note, above are just my point of view and not the 'official statement by Weekly News Team'. I hope you will tune in to Weekly News Team and help improving OUR newsletter. ;-) Best, - -- _/_/ Satoru Matsumoto - openSUSE Member - Japan _/_/ _/_/ Marketing/Weekly News/openFATE Screening Team _/_/ _/_/ mail: helios_reds_at_gmx.net / irc: HeliosReds _/_/ _/_/ http://blog.geeko.jp/author/heliosreds _/_/ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with SUSE - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkqHckYACgkQXnHIfHE6+z0ZXwCfWCjMZL+UTbd4Xzq/3Me2IcKi rqoAoIlY6I8SY2/R7cNlgugzPIqdWMT+ =U04y -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org
