You say its time for openSUSE to not be a fetus and be born. I say its time for us to move into adolescence. We were already born a few years ago.
If Novell pulls the power plug, your project infrastructure immediately collapses. The "community" is not strong enough to step in and turn the power back on. As long as that's true, you're still a fetus.
Trifle, Novell will not pull the power plug immediately at all. So, let's concentrate on what makes sense *today* and care about other scenarios if they arise. And if they arise we need a strong community to continue. So, let's get back to the point I made: Are we a strong community? If not, what will we do to become one? Where will you get involved?
To attract other corporate players, opensuse needs a life, independent from Novell.
We do have already other corporate sponsors and a foundation will enable us to get more. I think that's the right focus in this area, Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger, Program Manager openSUSE, aj@{novell.com,opensuse.org} Twitter: jaegerandi | Identica: jaegerandi SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126
