Dear Cornelius.
We are the openSUSE Community - a friendly, welcoming, vibrant, and active community. This includes developers, testers, writers, translators, usability experts, artists, promoters and everybody else who wishes to engage with the project.
To grow the openSUSE Community, we will put contributors first and focus on the following activities: (nice list of activities cut)
This is a nice list of general community activities, but I think it's a bit hard to discuss this without knowing the goal of the community and the users we want to target. As I understand it goals should be part of the strategy proposals discussion, right? So could we do that first?
As an example, putting contributors first doesn't make a lot of sense, when we want to reach out to users beyond the community. There we would have to put users first and define who they are, how to reach them, and what activities would support that.
In general I think users should be a much more visible part of our community, as I assume we are creating software not only for ourselves, but for a much larger group of people.
An how does a project benefit from users that do not contribute? We should instead animate 'users' to become contributors. And note: contribution does not mean: you have to provide code. There are a lot of tasks to do, so that everybody should find an area of choice.
