I hear rumors Novell is for sale. Will opensuse get its own bugzilla independent from Novell? And what else needs to be done for opensuse to gain full independence?
Any stock market listed company is for sale at any moment. nothing new there I would say. Have a look: Microsoft is for sale: Consult your bank and start buying up the shares from there... (other words for saying: so what?) As for independence: do we want / need this? Just look at all the services provided by Novell for the project: - openSUSE BuildService -> How many servers can 'we' as community afford without a partner, who is going to host it? Who is taking care of the energy bill? - Bugzilla: Why splitting it off? What's the real gain (other than having a different branded stylesheet?) (maybe having a CNAME from bugzilla.opensuse.org would be nice though; one that brings me to bugzilla, and not to en.opensuse.org/Submit_a_Bug ) - Bandwidth for mirror syncs: How much bandwidth can we afford without a strong parter to our side? Nothing against the idea of appearing as a strong project and putting a point to it: but consider everything when shouting loud out for 'let's get independent from Novell'.
