Reading Felix-Nicolai's blog post, I'd like to get your input on the following statement from him:
I believe that openSUSE is supposed to be a community based and community driven product. While many devs work for Novell and do great work, openSUSE does also depend on its many users. So they should get a hear. It is not OK to only raise this issue on a factory mailinglist - a mailinglist a regular user will never see.
* factory was setup as list for future development of the openSUSE distribution. Why is that not working? Where would you expect to have general discussion about the direction of the distribution?
I, for one, think -factory is exactly the right place - along with irc meetings. This is where people interested in openSUSE development would be expected to hang out and discuss things. I also think that complaints about not listening to the community/users is unfair. When the devs wanted to push 4.0 in 11.0 and hide 3.5 so only a few experts would be able to find it and install it, I and others complained and the situation was "fixed" in the end. Now again it has been decided to put 3.5 on the media, against the wishes of the devs - solely to suit a minority of users. How is that not listening? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
