: ## Sponsoring Football Club
[snip]
I have to say I don't really see a good reason to sponsor a football team. I doubt we will find users let alone contributors among the players or their parents. I think this money could be spent on groups or clubs that are closer related to our project instead.
I also don't understand why "local" matters here. I thought openSUSE was an "open and global community project" (quote from https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Members) - where does "local" fit in a global community?
I couldn't agree more. The vote against this sponsorship is mine, but that is how democracy works. ;) It would be interesting to know what other people think about that. Any other opinions?
I agree with Alexander, it does seem a bit odd. When seen in isolation it seems fine, but if we were to put together a list of the rest of Bavarias/Germanys/Europes kids' football clubs, no doubt all with "parents and supporters from local technical companies" .... -- Per Jessen, Zürich (23.1°C) member, openSUSE Heroes. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner@opensuse.org
