Being independent does not mean Novell cannot sponsor oS, or lets it use the infrastructure...
In fact, that's where we are, as AJ pointed out. Novell has moved from being a "controller" of openSUSE to being a partner/sponsor of openSUSE. But apparently, some people just can't see past that.
What of becoming a parter from Novell? If Novell is for sale, can the community buy it?
Sure. Last time I checked, the Novell price tag was around $2.5 Billion. Pocket change for us in the community! :-)
Lol... How about shares, not sold on the open market, representing certain 'value'? Meaning shares that can be bought if 'part of the community'?
What is it oS needs, besides the infrastructure and a lot of money?
Contributions! Contributions! Contributions! Doesn't really matter if we have money and infrastructure if we don't have people stepping up to take the lead on various tasks.
Wher can i become aware of these 'various tasks'?
