The team who has done the german weekly news don't want to
contribute there anymore.
Please enlighten everybody and tell us why. Talk to us, work with us,
as a team. I contributed to the wiki portion of the Weekly News
didn't I? I also contributed to the German wiki. I helped you
countless times with a lot of issues. I also helped Linuxsusefan. If
nothing else you owe me an explanation _why_ you pull out. Really,
we're friends aren't we?
Please dont be angry. I would like to clarify some things:
You know, the SUSE Distribution was a german Project, with german
Handbooks, german Support and support for a german Community. You Guys
has worked hard and good to make things better for the German Customers.
You've selled the Box and all was ok.
After the sell of SUSE to Novell the new prefered Language was english.
But one of the important things who was forgotten by you is, that the
german Community makes one of the biggest pieces from the cake, that you
eat.
Look into the dewiki.opensuse.org. How many good Articles for german
users you find there? Or look in de.opensuse.org. How many actual
Articles are there? Many Articles are simply outdated. And this all
gives me the sign that SUSE Germany isn't very interested into building
and growing a german Community.
Now looks to wiki.open-slx.de. We have 1552 Articles there. In the
german Language, all Articles handselected and partly rewritten for
openSUSE needs. All Articles are tested before publishing. And the
whole Project was driven by a handfull People in some month.
So i can say, that we haven't a fork or anything like that. We just
closed the hole in your market. And you know we have open free market.
We just give a good Base for german Users to get this thing who are
missed by others.
Point Communication. AFAIK not just i or open-slx or any other does

things without external communication. Coolo never has asked me when the
next Release 12.0 will be planned. No one asked me, which flys will be
paid by Jos for the Project. No one has given me a copy of the SUSE
Germany Bilance.
I guess that some of you just entusiastic because that's their job.
Everyone must eat, sleep, drink and buy a new Computer ;-)
But everyone is replaceable. What if Human resources says, that 5 Jobs
of openSUSE/SUSE will be killed? So long you are employed your living
the politic of the boss. I know some of ex employees, who not
contributing the openSUSE Community. Everyone of us have things who are
not discussed.
Point Place. Why we are changed? Why a new place? The question is deeper
then you thought.
* opensuse-education
* opensuse-guide
* opensuse-lernen
* opensuse-forums
* linux-club
All these places are not hosted by Novell/SUSE. Some Sites are using a
Trademark (Geeko). Would you like to force them to migrate their content
to *.opensuse.org? Yes, that would be better but not practicable. then
we can kill all other Linux Distributions and working on World
Domination. The Opensource Scene lives from different flavors. You like
open-slx not. I like it. I like opensuse-education too, you maybe too.
Where will be the Borderline?
I decided to work for open-slx because i'm feeling good there. I'm
knowing the most ppl in person. And i like Inyoka. One Syntax for Forum,
Wiki and News. Who will be against that? And one of the important things
why i'm working for open-slx is to support the german community.
We decided to make the openSUSE Wochenrückblick in the german Language
on open-slx. If anyone would like to make an german Newsletter, then
just start. All Templates are online.
So i think we a partners no enemies.
