I am not disagreeing with you, but the argument of "rejecting" is theoretical. For most packages maintained in SLE a SUSE developer also maintains the same package in openSUSE, or is at least in the maintainer group. Thus, you are implying someone would reject their own work. That appears unlikely.
That said, the whole thing is rather silly and makes me wonder why this was posted to begin with. (Disclaimer I have not read the wiki page yet.)
Because Jos and Andreas have a sense of what is about to happen?
We (SUSE employees that contribute to openSUSE) have collectively, many times, pointed out that our status is not, and should not, be any different from community members that do not work for SUSE. If we want this to be true we have to stop thinking of ourselves as "special".
The initiators of the Freight Train seem to suspect this might not be quite the way every SUSE employee sees it. As Andreas said a little later: "... it might happen that the SUSE employees roll over some others and thus a small team formed to help if that happens. To help if the SUSE guys do not behave as real part of the openSUSE community.".
Why would we announce, that a group of community members, that happen to work for SUSE, will be entering a time of increased contribution to the openSUSE project?
For one reason only - that this group of community members, "that happen to work for SUSE", are not just ordinary community members. FTR, I have no issue with this at all - I only have an issue with it being disputed. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (24.8°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner@opensuse.org
