How about something along these lines:
"In the openSUSE project we work together to create a professional and
powerful Linux distribution, which lets people be productive."

Substitute something else for professional. I am sure there are plenty
of users like me who don't care if "professionals" find openSUSE
useful. I don't do one thing "professional" with my 11.3 installations,
I do things that are useful to me. Let SLED be what professionals use.

I'm not an IT professional either. But I still like my distro to have a
"professional feel", which I think openSUSE has and is one of the things that
sets it apart from some other distros and which should be preserved going
forward.

But you might be right that the word is counter-productive here - because it
smells a little bit of commercialism and elitism I guess.

I think you put it in better words than I did.
