RE: [opensuse-project] openSUSE Strategy Discussion: Community Statement (cultural and economic diversity)
Reading this thread, I see some good point, but they are submerged by
a level of noise that makes them irrelevant. If we cannot have a
serious discussion without a level of noise superior to the level of
the relevant content, we have a problem, and that problem is in the
people who discusses, that cannot keep the discussion clean. I don't
think we are going to convince many to be part of this community if
this is the kind of discussion they'll have to be part of.

There is a related point which is being ignored. A strategy will define a
single objective and a method of achieving that objective. That means that
all other objectives and other methods are left out. This will leave out
some members of the community. That is inevitable.

This means we cannot take with us all of members of the community, and the
people left out will either complain loudly, or become negative about oS.
There will be a lot of noise, and potentially the day will be won by the
people who complain the longest, not by the largest group or the group with
the best strategy.

The alternative is to have no objective, or such a vague objective that all
can agree and nothing will be achieved.
