Novell fired quite a bit of people at the time, so there were way less people actually being able/willing to contribute. It was quite a blow to openSUSE and KDE and some Gnome apps, which no longer had as much corporate support as with those people in the positions they were in. Some more people left by themselves, for other red and more open source corporation :P
Novell has been already bought by Attachmate in 2011. There were layoffs related to that merge but these did not touch SUSE directly and I'm not aware of anyone fired in SUSE R&D. Some pople left shortly after the merge but it was their own decision.
So yeah, #blamenovell I guess?
Let's blame Novell only for things it had actually something to do with, I would rather say. Michal Kubecek -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner@opensuse.org
