[opensuse-factory] Trying to improve our communication
Hi, as I was the one that sent this first highly confusing team mail about future releases, let's try again to clear stuff. We summarized everything (this time hopefully right) here in the blog post: http://lizards.opensuse.org/2014/02/03/trying-to-add-some-light/ -- Michal HRUSECKY SUSE LINUX, s.r.o. openSUSE Team Lihovarska 1060/12 PGP 0xFED656F6 19000 Praha 9 mhrusecky[at]suse.cz Czech Republic http://michal.hrusecky.net http://www.suse.cz -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

Thanks for the blog post. What you still didn't explicitly say who the "openSUSE Team @ SUSE" actually is. I've heard this term for the first time in this discussion, and initially it looked to me like it includes all people paid by SUSE to work on openSUSE. As I know now, this is not the case, but many others think the same (as seen by many discussion I had at FOSDEM over the weekend). I would highly appreciate an update of the blog post stating that explicitly _at the beginning_ of the post already, or link to some resources showing this. Other than that, it looks like the announcement I would have expected initially. Thanks for your work, and let's all learn something from that!

Thanks for your feedback, will update it! Just for the record: https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:OpenSUSE_team Probably should be updated as well, I'm on it. -- Michal HRUSECKY SUSE LINUX, s.r.o. openSUSE Team Lihovarska 1060/12 PGP 0xFED656F6 19000 Praha 9 mhrusecky[at]suse.cz Czech Republic http://michal.hrusecky.net http://www.suse.cz -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

It could be the name of that team which is the major source of confusion. As non-intimates of who the openSUSE team @ SUSE is, it seems all encompassing when first exposed to the name. I think defining who the team is not is as important as defining who the team is. I think updating that page to explicitly add some other SUSE related teams would help clarify things. ie. If these exist: The QA team, the OBS team, the release team, the security team, the legal team, etc. Basically the name of "openSUSE team @ SUSE" makes it sound to the casual reader like it is all SUSE employees that work on openSUSE related tasks full or part time. That impression needs to be scaled back significantly from what I can tell.
