If we want to improve our communication (I mean the communication between the people who care and contribute to the project), that is definitely one thing we should become more conscious of, i.e. before we start an argument, pause and think whether it isn't just a different understanding or background. Not that easy to do though :)
Not at all easy, no. Especially not when most people remain in their own countries most of their lives and rarely even encounter another nationality. I think it's just something we have to live with, TBH.
Hmmm, I'd observe that on this list and in the openSUSE community, we're having those encounters on a daily basis. The question is whether we (collectively and as individuals) can learn to understand those differences in a purely (or mostly) written medium. Over the years, I've made some fantastic (and lifelong) friends in online venues. But perhaps I'm "weird" compared to the norm. :) Jim -- Jim Henderson Please keep on-topic replies on the list so everyone benefits -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner@opensuse.org
