Indeed for someone working at a company like Novell for a while it may feel strange to discuss things with collegues in public: - Should one really openly 'flame' fellow Novell employees (AJ, Michael, coolo, the Boosters, ...) or decisions made by them? - What things can a Novell employee say in public? How much are the things one says influenced by internal knowledge that's not ment for public digestion?
I have this myself - I don't know where I stand being both a Novell employee and a community member. Something I want to discuss with ppl in person a bit anyway so I'll take it up with them too.
Finally people speak up - and I'm sure others will go again: "oh, no, this should have been an internal discussion".
I never heard "oh, no, this should have been an internal discussion" anywhere! And believe me I am usually part of the nasty discussions ;-).
You may be too intimidating ;P
I do believe this is a fear that we need to manage somehow. They don't have this in their upstream communities right?
Of course not. There is no contractual relationship between the project and the contributor. Everyone just contributes as an individual. There is a difference if you post on LKML or some freedesktop.org ML with a Novell mailing address or if you do this in the openSUSE project. At least this perception exists.
