The openSUSE board met for a day long meeting on March 22nd in Nuremberg and via video link. We would like to report to the community some of the goals and actionable items that resulted from that meeting.
....
3. For starters one thing that all members of the board are tired of is the mood, tone and behavior of certain people on our mailing lists. It's seldom FUN, SIMPLE and COLLABORATIVE to bring up an issue on, say, opensuse-project. We need to change this to get the mailing lists back to being a productive, fun, collaborative place where we listen to arguments and address problems in a constructive and open way. Each and every one of us wants to discourage mailing list vandals who only state opinions, while expecting someone else to make the fix. As a board we invite the community to actively deter these unproductive activities through social pressure. Making the lists fun will invite existing contributors who aren't on the list(s) to join and to entice new people onto the list(s).
... tks, addressing item #3 is needed and welcomed. There appears too much of an "us vs them" additude and derogatory comments about decisions and programmers skills/direction. A change will be invigorating. tks again -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner@opensuse.org
