If you want to have openSUSE "independent", then the first step is to actually contribute so that openSUSE can live without Novell resources. I understand that you don't want to contribute until it's independent, but I hope you realize that it's a chicken and egg problem, in that case.
You want me to donate. But I don't have any money, and you won't pay me. Since Novell has the money, let them grow the chicken. I want to see a full grown chicken first.
It's not about the money. It's about time. You're taking the Debian example, and I'll point out that nearly none of the more than 1000 Debian Developers are paid to work on Debian. I'll also point out that we have many contributors working on openSUSE in their spare time, including (but not limited to, far from that) Novell employees. That's because all those people want openSUSE to succeed, and they believe the right way to achieve that goal is to help, instead of waiting.
The Foundation the board is working on would hopefully help people see that this is something that is getting worked on, and that we (openSUSE community) care about.
That's nice, but what goals are defined? I gather from this thread they are somewhat vague.
Goals of the Foundation? I guess that would be to manage the legal and financial aspects of the openSUSE project, as well as to help the project achieve its goals in general. Now, if you're asking what are the goals of the openSUSE project, then that's what the Strategy team is working on right now. They should have something ready soon :-) Of course, if you have other ideas of goals, please share them.
