so, i'll not again question the way things work here, who is most important or how we might arrive a higher level together....instead, i'll just go back now and live in my really distorted field with things like the following to keep me warm at night:
To be clear, I'm thinking of thinks like this: http://forums.opensuse.org/community/surveys-polls/436881-what-do-you-not-li... - "The developer "Ivory tower" - We hear the saying "the devs never visit the forums" quite often. This is sad and in my opinion is a missed opportunity. Surely this forum consisting of people who actually use openSUSE in the "real world" has a lot of feedback to offer. I feel as though I have to go crawling on my knees and jump through hoops to report a problem." Devs should use the forums because it seems there is no cost for devs in that. But a forum user can't write a bug report in bugzilla (that is not so different than starting a new thread in the forum) because that means no less than "go crawling on my knees and jump through hoops"!! And - "Out of touch with reality - openSUSE refuses to accept the real world, by that I mean understanding what end users actually want from their distro of choice. This whole "head in the sand" thing is really rather silly. I'm talking about codecs, drivers, and crippled versions of software. People want these things, they need them, and I can bet that well over 90% of you actually have them installed on your systems. Why make life awkward by hiding them away and pretending they don't exist and making it hard to get them? I know all about the legal mumbo-jumbo, but openSUSE is supposed to be "the open, community driven version of Suse Linux Enterprise" isn't it? Then listen to the community and model openSUSE on what the community wants instead of what the corporation wants." Translation: "Developers are not implementing things **I know** they can't implement because of legalities. That means they ignore the community." Are you saying me this makes any sense outside a reality distortion field? What will be the next? "I asked a lot of times for a time travel plasmoid and the devs have still not implemented it for 11.3. They continue ignoring the feedback the forums has to offer."? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org
