I think that openSUSE organization is an organization to organize things. Apparently the move to libera went through at least a couple steering groups without anybody asking what are the options at hand and what are the respecitve advantages and disadvantages so that involved people can make an informed decision and communicate the rationale rather than act at random and document the events after the fact.
Um what organisation are you talking about? openSUSE as an organisation is a famous/notorious for having a "Those who do, decide" mentality and a long history of empowering its contributors. There is even significant documentation, official [1] and unofficial [2] to that fact that openSUSE does not have steering groups. Period. We actively advertise ourself as a project as that does not "have technical steering groups or other people who tell us what to do" how can you possibly be surprised that our contributors didn't wait for the consent of steering groups? What phantom steering groups would you expect contributors to wait for before setting up or moving to a new communication platform?
