Always easy to point fingers at others, and surely reporters rarely have half the story right when they report something.
But you should always look inwards as well. If there was some proper official communication done, maybe reporters and community members wouldn't have to speculate like crazy about what the hell is going on, and go through a prolonged and extremely painful process of learning about people we care about and enjoy working with have been fired - slowly and painfully one name at a time for a period of weeks and weeks.
Martin, I whole heartedly agree, and this is something that we keep telling Novell - communicate more and communicate clearly. Unfortunately when dealing with a company the size of Novell and also taking into account their endless processes, this will not be an easy or quick solution - even though it should be. For the short term at least we will have to keep up the pressure on Novell to communicate clearly. I suppose the best thing we can do is lead by example, maybe we as a community should show Novell how to communicate with the wider community. We all know we can improve on that, and yes openSUSE has made vast improvements in communicating but there is always room for improvement. -- Andrew Wafaa, openSUSE Member: FunkyPenguin openSUSE: Get It, Discover It, Create It at http://www.opensuse.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org
