I would like to raise the subject of openSUSE governance. At the moment openSUSE is governed by the openSUSE core team http://www.opensuse.org/Core_Team I have a few questions. How are decisions made? By some democratic informal voting or agreement? Or is it ruled by Andreas or Adrian? :-) or whoever actually takes on a particular responsibility makes the final decision for that area? The page http://www.opensuse.org/Core_Team_Issues shows that the team is trying to be more transparent. I would like to know what the view of the team is towards the inclusion of one or more Community members (or representatives) on the Core Team. I would see that this would be more symbolic than anything else, but would show the commitment that SUSE has towards the community. I would see the person being involved in discussions, planning, and putting the view of the community across, unhindered by being an employee. Peter 'Pflodo' Flodin.
