Hi folks,
There's been a bit of noise in the past couple of months advocating a merge of both the artwork mailing list and artwork IRC channel along with the multimedia list into the marketing channel/list.
Hi, While I believe that multimedia and artwork could be folded into a new possible opensuse-design with a responsible leader to work alongside and coordinate efforts with marketing, I would never merge artwork and multimedia with marketing.
Many feel that we're too spread out and thus not hearing enough or being aware of what everyone is doing. As such, that means it becomes harder to build momentum to grow our community. Worse yet, when not merged properly, we create duplication of efforts.
Could you please provide a thread that represents such claims, so we can have an objective view on what 'many' really means and what the ideas expressed are, so we can actually take a serious look at it? About community growth, so a monolithic stack merging completly different lists will make it more attractive to new contributors? Or would just center more power in the hands of a few hand picked ?
However, before we do any merging, I have stated clearly to others that the ultimate decision rests with the artwork team. I am definitely in favor of a merge, but would like to hear your thoughts in the next few days about the pros and cons of merging together.
It sounds that the decision is already taken. I make Jos words mine now... "You are killing openSUSE".
Thanks! Bryen M Yunashko openSUSE Marketing Team
