Reading the Pascal platform, I was concerned by his declaration
about foundation. Not to say he's not right :-)
Well it's just my opinion (ok, not just mine), it's definitely
open for debate, and I'm fine being proven wrong :)
The only thing I would really like to see happening is a
discussion about it. I firmly believe it was the right thing to
do at the time where we took that decision, but I'm not
convinced it still is right now: the situation has changed.
How has it changed exactly? We know the ownership of SUSE has changed,
but how is that significant wrt the creation of the openSUSE
foundation?
For me the main attraction of the foundation is that it could ideally provide
some assurance to contributors that the openSUSE project wouldn't just wither
and die, if (god forbid) something nasty (hostile acquisition, bankruptcy,
insane management etc.) should happen to SUSE.
I think those types of concerns are holding quite some people back from using
and contributing to openSUSE.
That's sound reasonable. But and there's a big one!
